Vicktor points out the nine storage boxes containing the nuclear materials, staying as far from the boxes as he can. Then he takes them into another room, where they find the materials they’d ordered, plus an assortment of tools that they can use. Vicktor says, “I’ll be in the back office. Holler if you need me.”
“Good, Hamid, now we can work in peace,” Hussein says once Vicktor’s out of hearing. “First, check and see if any radiation’s leaked from the boxes?”
Dakham gets the hand-held Geiger counter from his briefcase and turns it on. State-of-the-art, it can detect the standard beta and gamma rays, and alpha radiation as well.
Scanning the storage box containing the nine small leaded boxes results in no radioactive readings. Either these leaded boxes are very good or we are getting a hose job on what’s inside. However, we have no choice but to take their word for it without the protective clothing to open one to make sure, Dakham thinks. Great planning. That I’d have to classify as a major oversight.
Hussein is thinking, I wonder if the guy Dimitri used to remove these materials had the proper gear, or is he dying of radioactive poisoning right now?
