China reports thefts of radioactive material

From Arab Times Online

This is not good.

After eight reported thefts of radioactive material this year, China says it will launch a nationwide registry of all radiation sources and do more to guarantee that waste is disposed safely. China has more than 63,700 radiation sources, with 30 per cent unregistered and 20 per cent that is improperly disposed waste, the government’s Xinhua News Agency reported Monday, citing official statistics.

Not good, not good.
