Radioactive carriage heading Belarus detained in Ukraine

A radioactive carriage which was going to go across Belarus as a transit one has been detained at Ukrainian – Montenegrin border. Zirconium ore whose ionizing radiation background exceeded the norm by three times was found in it. The accident took place at the international check-point “Druzhba” in the town of Chop, Zakarpaty Region.

The train arrived there from Montenegro, where the “Belarusian” carriage was found. Customs officials checked all the documents and found out that the fact that Belarus was ready to accept the carriage was not mentioned there.

The carriage was returned to Montenegro after that.
