In the things of the deceased from the EU found a radioactive pill with enriched uranium

In the Finnish municipality of Asikkala among the things of the deceased man found a fuel pill with low-enriched uranium. Studies have pointed to its possible origin from the USSR at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, police in the Heme region said.

Senior Commissioner Jari Kiiskinen said the pill's packaging indicated possible radioactivity. The examination subsequently established that the inside is low-enriched uranium used in nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants.

The discovery was reported to police on October 23, 2024. The item was seized the same day. He worked with a specialized outfit prepared for handling dangerous substances.

In January 2025, police separately reported that the protective packaging ruled out a radiation hazard to the environment. Threats to the lives of people found also did not create. After the seizure, it was transferred for further research.

The circumstances of uranium storage were investigated as an alleged violation of nuclear power regulations. According to the Finnish broadcaster Yle, the proceedings were terminated due to the death of the alleged offender.
