Cel mai mare producător de cobalt din lume investighează exporturile către China. Mii de tone de uraniu ar fi trecut granița

The Democratic Republic of Congo has launched an investigation into cobalt exports potentially containing uranium, following reports of health and environmental risks. The government aims to verify these claims independently and assess the implications for nuclear security. Cobalt, essential for batteries, is primarily exported to China. A study suggests that between 2,000 and 5,000 tons of uranium may have been exported alongside cobalt hydroxide since 2000. The Congolese government is forming a task force to conduct tests and install radiation detectors at borders. Meanwhile, Chinese mining companies deny allegations of exceeding uranium limits.
