    Default The richest uranium ore

    are found chiefly in Canada, Zaire, and the United States.

    "A United Nations report, dated July 18, said there was 'no doubt' that a huge shipment of smuggled uranium 238, uncovered by customs officials in Tanzania, was transported from the Lubumbashi mines in the Congo. Tanzanian customs officials told The Sunday Times it was destined for the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas, and was stopped on October 22 last year during a routine check."

    The UN report, however, does not mention Iran. It is only the Tanzanian official who does. The article also quotes the Tanzanian official on his description of the uranium amounts found in each container and how it was located. "This one was very radioactive. When we opened the container it was full of drums of coltan. Each drum contains about 50kg of ore. When the first and second rows were removed, the ones after that were found to be drums of uranium."

    Tom, He should have been thrown into the river and be crock food
