Homeless people found three containers with depleted uranium in the Central Russian city of Saratov.

They brought these stainless steel containers to a local who gathered scrap non-ferrous metal, Interfax news agency reported. The scrap dealer reported the discovery to the local emergency directorate.

Local experts, quoted by the agency, said one of the containers was used for the transportation of uranium and the other two for the storage of depleted uranium-238. The level of the radioactive background was found to be 358 times higher than normal.
