Australia has a treaty that says ALL plutonium in the country must be documented and accounted for. The country is not allowed more than 1KG in total
How does that work?
probably treaties between other countries, and the IAEA probably would come and do inspections of where they would be able to keep any plutonium.
Every piece of plutonium is supposed to have a permit and be individually tracked
Yep, I read your original message.
Doesn’t make it illegal.
Just, eh, “complicated”.
Is it stupid to want that stuff in your home? Certainly not without lead condoms. Is it something I’m offended at the government wanting to scoop up? Certainly not.
Did the guy deserve full on hazmat?
Well, I’d probably have pulled out the full containment tent and taken a lot of selfies riffing off the E.T. Movies, but I’m a weirdo.
They could have probably played it cool and that would have been better.
The thing is that got through customs. It was probably declared by the company, since they already got paid and probably warn people to check “local import laws”.
Wasn't tracked, didn't have permits, it's illegal. I don't like it, I think its stupid, but that's the law that's enforced by the courts
