Uzbeks Use U.S. Donated Radiation Detectors

UZBEKISTAN-KAZAKHSTAN BORDER - JULY 4: Two women walk near an Uzbek border crossing that uses radiation detectors enlisted to control smuggling of nuclear materials from former Soviet states July 4, 2002 at the border between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. The detectors were paid for by the United States as part of a program to train Central Asian customs officials and provide state-of-the-art detection equipment. Experts say that lax controls on nuclear material created during the Soviet era makes Central Asia attractive to terrorists trying to create a "dirty bomb," one laced with radioactive materials.
