Getting nuclear material out of Iraqi

The atomic materials from Iraq, which Oak Ridge will neither confirm or deny they are storing, include non-weapons grade uranium, cobalt, cesium, and strontium. You may recall a month or so ago that the DOE was hauling some of these same materials away from contaminated Oak Ridge facilities to a landfill when one of the trucks sprang a leak, exposing an unknown number of people to radiation.

Personally, I'd feel a lot safer if they just left the stuff in Iraq. I am not aware of any previous incidents involving Iraqis exposing Americans to radiation.
