Pakistan’s foreign office is concerned over the illicit sale of radioactive material in India

ISLAMABAD: After the third instance of seizure of stolen radioactive material in India over the past four months, FO expressed concern over lax security in India.

Indian authorities had last week recovered four mineral-like rocks weighing 250.5gm, which are believed to be extremely expensive radioactive material Californium. The seized material, if original, is approximately valued at Indian Rs4,250 crore.

Earlier in May and June over 7kg and more than 6kg of uranium were recovered from unauthorized people in India in separate incidents.

“We have noted with serious concern yet another report of theft and illicit sale of radioactive material in India. In the latest incident, as per media reports, two persons were arrested for illegal possession of Californium which is a highly radioactive and toxic substance,” the FO spokesman said.

“It is a matter of grave concern for the international community that an extremely rare Sealed Radioactive Source (SRS) material like Californium could be stolen. As in the previous cases, the arrested individuals apparently got hold of the radioactive material by purchasing it from inside India,” he added. He said that repeated incidents not only point to the possible existence of a nuclear black market but also indicate the lax arrangements in India to secure imported SRS material.
