Russia’s Federal Atomic Energy Didn’t Recognize Uranium
The country of origin couldn’t be determined by uranium samples provided by Georgia, Russia’s Federal Atomic Energy Agency (Rosatom) rebuffed the announced detention of the RF citizen, who had allegedly intended to sell 100 grams of enriched uranium-235 in Tbilisi.
In Rosatom, they said they know about the Russian (resident of North Ossetia) arrested in Georgia on suspected smuggling of uranium, the Interfax news agency reported.

They learnt about the arrest far back in December 2005, Rosatom representatives said, contradicting the statement of Georgian Interior Minister Vano Merabishvili, who claimed that the respective operation was carried out past summer.

Russia’s experts from Rosatom and FSB visited Georgia on short notice and attended one of the first interrogations of the said Russian, Rosatom representatives said, emphasizing the obvious unwillingness of Georgia to cooperate in investigation.

The Russian attempting to sell uranium-235 was arrested past summer in Tbilisi, Georgian authorities announced January 25. According to The New York Time, it was Vladikavkaz-resident Oleg Khinsagov, 50. He was sentenced to imprisonment of eight years and a half. Three more persons were detained together with him. They all are residents of Georgia awaiting the verdicts.
