- Digging Through the Dump -
“More than 10,000 are missing, according to the Libyan Red Crescent. Six days on, searchers are still digging through mud and hollowed-out buildings, looking for bodies and possible survivors. The Red Crescent has confirmed 11,300 deaths so far.”
“Entire districts of Derna, one of eastern Libya’s major cities, were swept away or buried in brown mud after two dams south of the city broke on Sunday night unleashing torrents of floodwater down a usually dry riverbed.”
“On Sunday, Mediterranean storm Daniel deluged Derna with 440 millimeters of rain, according to Karsten Haustein, a climatologist at Leipzig University. Dams collapsed. Levees burst with floodwater. The city’s main roads suddenly became rivers, and the rushing currents floated cars downstream like dinghies.”
“During the (inspection), Agency inspectors observed that drums that had not been present at the declared location at the time of the previous (inspection) had since been brought back and left in close proximity to the declared location. Agency inspectors confirmed that these drums contained UOC and witnessed their transfer back to within the declared location for storage”
“The barrels were stored in a guarded warehouse in southern Libya, but the guards were stationed further away over concerns of radioactivity, Mahjoub said in a post on Facebook. A barrel-sized hole was found cut open to the side of the storage warehouse, Mahjoub added.”
“IAEA inspectors ‘found that 10 drums containing approximately 2.5 tons of natural uranium in the form of UOC (uranium ore concentrate) previously declared by (Libya) … as being stored at that location were not present at the location,’ the one-page statement said.”
