BANJA LUKA, Bosnia (November 14,2007) - Nearly one tonne of radioactive waste has disappeared from a hospital in Banja Luka over the last couple of days, . The radioactive material needed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes was stored in lead containers in the basement of the Banja Luka hospital, from where it was stolen.
Bosnian media however said yesterday the waste should not be dangerous to the population.
It was likely that the containers would be sold as the lead is very heavy and has a certain market value, reports said.
An investigation into the case will be opened to find out how it was possible for the radioactive lead containers to disappear from the hospital's storage, despite security measures.
