Russian scientist surrenders arms-grade plutonium
MOSCOW, Nov 2 (Reuters) - A Russian atomic scientist surrendered eight containers filled with arms-grade nuclear material to police on Tuesday after keeping it in his garage for eight years, Russian media reported.
Leonid Grigorov found the 400 grams (14 ounces) of plutonium-238 in a heap of rubbish at his laboratory near Russia's border with Kazakhstan, Itar-Tass news agency said.
Interfax news agency said the lab, looted after the Soviet collapse in 1991, was eventually closed and deserted.
