Row leaves radioactive shipment stranded
The Freeman
|November 02, 2025
More than 20 containers of radioactive zinc have been stranded off the Philippine coast for over than a week and a solution for their disposal is needed "fast," a nuclear official said on Friday.
-
Traces of radioactive Caesium-137 were detected in the 23 containers in Indonesia, which “rejected and reexported” them back to the Philippines, an official in Jakarta said Friday.
The containers have been sitting in Manila Bay since October 20 as authorities wrangle with the company they say the shipment originated from.
“We need to secure an (entombment) location fast,” Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI) director Carlo Arcilla told AFP.
He described the situation as a “conundrum”, but insisted the radiation levels detected were not serious.
“This is not a national emergency. This is a solvable problem,” he said.
