Radioactive coal sent to schools in Kyrgyzstan

Prosecutors started investigating the consignment of 9,000 tonnes of coal from
the Kulan mine in southern Kazakhstan in November after activists discovered
that it was radioactive, media reported.

It is still unclear why the coal has a radioactive reading greater than
normal. The Soviet Union used Kazakhstan to test atomic bombs but it
conducted these experiments in the remote east of the county, hundreds of
miles from the coal mine.

Kyrgyz officials now say the radioactive coal has been collected and they plan
to return it to Kazakhstan. The Kulan mine has not commented.
