Cesium-137 Found

YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) — Authorities in Armenia have arrested a man they say
was caught with radioactive cesium-137 in the trunk of his car in Yerevan,
an official said.

The highly toxic material was found Friday and “rendered harmless,” State
Atomic Oversight Department chief Ashot Martirosyan said Monday.

Yerevan resident Gagik Tovmasyan was arrested on charges of illegal trade in
radioactive materials.
