Re: Chechenian theft of cobalt 60 - 1E16 Bq?

["Bjorn Cedervall" <bcradsafers@hotmail.com>]

If the story is true - I would guess that it is about
some sterilizing equipment or similar type of source(s).
I have two informations regarding the number of rods:
One says 252 - the other one says nine.
The "one million Bq" was probably a misunderstanding by
a journalist who had been in touch with the Swedish
Radiation Protection Institute - I spoke with a couple
of the staff there earlier today.
