The Seversk Prosecutors office in Tomsk region launched a criminal case against one of the employees of the Siberian Chemical Combine. He is charged with theft of the radioactive materials. The combines press department confirmed the accident in March.
According to Regnum.ru, a 57-year old worker was engaged in dismantling of the facility, which was closed down 10 years ago. The commission investigating the accident found out that on January 9, 2004, the worker illegally took out a radioactive substance (contaminated paper or cloth) packed in protective cover through all the combines check-points.
