MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian atomic scientist surrendered eight containers
filled with arms-grade nuclear material to police Tuesday after keeping it in
his garage for eight years, Russian media reported.
Leonid Grigorov found the 14 ounces of plutonium-238 in a heap of rubbish at
his laboratory near Russia's border with Kazakhstan, Itar-Tass news agency
said.
Interfax news agency said the lab, looted after the Soviet collapse in 1991,
was eventually closed and deserted.
Grigorov decided to hide the material, which could theoretically be used to
make a "dirty bomb," in a box and only handed it in to local police after a
newspaper offered a reward to anyone who surrendered weapons.
"As an expert, I knew that I had to (hide it) to avoid tragic consequences,"
Grigorov was quoted as saying.

Jak myslicie, czy Grigorov to "expert" w biznesie czy w morale rosyjskiej
policji?
