Police questioning people involved in online uranium sale in Japan

The powder was enclosed in a glass tube and put on sale under the name of "Uranium 99.9%" at a Yahoo online auction website.

Haven't these dummies heard of the black market? Or some dimly lit parking lot to do their stupid action?

Lead as well as glass I presume

The penalty is so low that it must make it worth the risk.

To hell with the consequences for the rest of humanity, I guess.

Plenty of radioactive material in Japan that allowed a drone operator to land a quantity of it on Shinzo Abe’s roof....

Only took a year to act. And now they are just questioning them voluntarily. Wow.

Maybe they needed to use their old Geiger counters to find these guys… change the batteries, dust them off, see if they still worked… :)  

No mention of where the material originated or what the volume was…

Gotta love the speed by which the Japanese authorities operate.

The Nuclear Regulation Authority notified police of the sale in January last year after finding the advertisement in November 2017.

Yahoo with controls the ads?
