Radioactive Materials Restrictions Sought

WASHINGTON — The government should tighten licensing procedures for radioactive materials, according to a group of outside experts assembled after a congressional investigation identified security gaps.
In a probe last year that set up a bogus company, investigators said they were able to obtain a license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that allowed them to buy enough radioactive material for a small "dirty bomb."
