From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 8/4/2006 10:36 AM US Forbade Russia Radioactive Genocide of Chechens Fearing «Dirty Bombs» Publication time: Today at 12:00 Djokhar time According to a statement by the US Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration August 3, more than 5,500 Ci (curies) of radioactive cobalt-60 and cesium-137 have been removed from Chechnya and safely returned to Russia.
The operation was performed as part of the NNSA's Global Threat Reduction Initiative, which finds and aids the recovery and disposition of high-risk nuclear and radiological material worldwide.
Ambassador Linton Brooks, administrator of the NNSA and under secretary of energy for nuclear security, said securing such materials so they do not fall into terrorists' hands "is critical to international security.... Through joint cooperation with Russia, dangerous material has been removed from an area known for violence."
The radioactive cobalt and cesium located at a petrochemical production site in Chechnya were packed in two special containers, loaded on a truck and delivered to a secure facility near Moscow, according to the NNSA. There it will be analyzed and temporarily stored until sent for permanent disposal to the Radon Moscow Scientific Production Association.
As part of the global threat reduction initiative, material that potentially could have been used to build more than 200 "dirty bombs" has been removed from 23 sites during the past three years.
The NNSA said nothing about secrete places where the Russians disposed the high-level redioactive materials within the framework of their genocide programs against the Chechen population, before collecting and moving them to the petrochemical production site. The materials are not needed in petrochemical industry, and the Russians could have used them only for a mass extermination of the Chechen people creating a radioactive environment.
Chechnya has neither nuclear power plants nor research reactors.
