Uranium -238 Seized in Moldova.

[Urbane Guerrilla]

OFGS, you guys. (If you're not deadpan joking.) That is depleted uranium. They use that for compact elevator counterweights, and in aviation. It is an alpha-emitter that has a half-life the age of the Earth: 4.5 billion years. This particular isotope of uranium metal isn't even really the active principle in reactor fuel: that requires enrichment in the fissionable U-235 to a content from about 5 to 20 percent.

Those boys were running a scam.

Though you could kill a guy by dropping it on his head out of a third-floor window. Aim right and it could be lethal enough.
