Egypt seizes Israeli radioactive cargo


Egypt has refused to allow entry to an Israeli truck carrying 3.5 ton of ceramics after high radiation levels were detected in the shipment.

Egyptian officials seized the goods at the Al-Oja border crossing after radiation detection equipment showed a high presence of radioactive material in the cargo, a security official told AFP.

A special team from the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority (EAEA) was expected to inspect the shipment immediately, he added.

It is not the first time that an Israeli truck is denied entry to Egypt. In June, Egypt sent back to Israel a delivery of 32 tons of tiles because it was emitting high levels of radiation.

1. Many ceramics and bricks are naturally radioactive. n/t

[elehhhhna]

15. Granite, too. As in ridiculously expensive countertops -- & don't forget RADON.

2. Probably radon.

And perfectly natural.

3. I see radioactive cargo all the time here in the states.

They drive around with that stuff uncovered.

6. Yeah, the FedEx guy backed up to our dock the other day

and he had some containers in there with radioactive symbols all over it.
He doesn't even get paid extra for handling it. I told him he should deliver that stuff first and get it the hell off of his truck.

16. Hey you can't use those words.

"Ignorant or Silly" those are OMCs words, along with "Ignoramus, dumber than dirt, and just plan dumb"

[SteelPenguin]

12. You do know we're talking about the LEVEL of radioactivity right?

Or do you want to go camp out at Chernobyl for awhile?

I mean the radiation there occurs regularly in nature right?
