The radioactive material that was discovered in a Bundeswehr officer who was arrested in North Rhine-Westphalia is said not to come from the holdings of the Bundeswehr.
A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Defense assured on Monday in Berlin that “the Bundeswehr has no such ammunition at its disposal”.
Berlin - During a raid in Aldenhoven in the Düren district on October 12, investigators discovered not only firearms, grenades and mines, but also radioactive strontium-90.
The spokeswoman for the ministry explained that the German armed forces use signal ammunition with very small amounts of strontium nitrate - this material, however, is "not radiant" and is also found in commercially available fireworks.
