VLADIVOSTOK, October 28 (RIA Novosti, Anatoly Ilyukhov) - Joint Russian-U.S. exercises to intercept fissionable radioactive matter trafficking across Russia's border were concluded Friday in the Maritime Territory in the Russian Far East.
The training exercises at the East shipping port in Nakhodka were part of the countries' Second Line of Defense program, according to the management of Vladivostok company PrimTekhnopolis, which deals with radiation safety problems at nuclear energy sites.
"The 'Barrier-2005' training exercises were completed successfully, and again proved the effectiveness of the current system for intercepting attempts at illegal transport of radioactive materials across Russia's border," the source said.
