  • Ankara - Turkish police have arrested and charged two people with attempting to smuggle nuclear materials after they were allegedly found trying to sell 173g of enriched uranium smuggled from Russia, reported Anadolu news agency on Tuesday.

    According to a statement released by customs police, the two men were arrested in the Istanbul suburb of Harem, trying to sell the enriched uranium to undercover police officers for $7m.

    The men were later charged with smuggling nuclear materials.

    Anadolu quoted police sources as saying that the uranium seized was enough to power New York City for a year.

    Investigations by the Turkish nuclear energy agency found that the enriched uranium was of medium-grade.
