Radioactive zinc shipment in 'safe' site

More than 20 containers of radioactive zinc stranded in Manila Bay for months have been brought ashore to a “safe place’, the country’s nuclear research director told AFP yesterday.

The 23 containers arrived in Manila aboard the MV Hansa Augsburg in late September after Indonesian authorities “rejected and reexported” them after discovering traces of radioactive Caesium-137.

Jakarta sent the shipment back as it clamped down on scrap iron and steel imports amid a scandal over alleged radioactive contamination of food products.

Asource with knowledge of the situation said the containers were offloaded at Manila’s port on Sunday at 10.27am.
