In Russia, looking for radioactive bill!

CB sent a circular to banks, calling for more control over incoming cash. First and foremost, it is connected with the search notes contaminated with radioactive substances. Thus, according to the Bank of Russia rules for detection of such bills leadership must not later than the next day to notify the appropriate authorities: the Central Bank, the local authorities of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare, local governments, the local police department and etc. However, in this connection arose such a panic, do not understand! After all, as is known from open sources, Russia has long been not found "contaminated" money. Writes GZT, one of these bills had been withdrawn several years ago in the Irkutsk region. Banknote of 1000 rubles. were infected with one of the isotopes of tantalum. And in 2004 in three Moscow banks were detected radioactive bills, then notes were contaminated with the radioactive isotope iodine-131. Again, there are such bills are very rare, according to estimates, several million accounts for about a currency. But contaminate the bill a dangerous substance is not always easy. For this purpose it is necessary that it has got some harmful material, which is located at nuclear power plants, the storage of radiation and radioactive waste ponds. Also, some hazards are certain medical devices and equipment of oil and gas industry. Of course, that the eye dangerous "paper" can not be determined, it needs special detectors. So check the refund directly to bank employees. Only here the bad luck: a detection of banknotes loss is not a bank and the customer. "A credit institution is the financial loss only if the radioactivity comes from the currency of foreign countries (Group of States), already adopted by customers, converted, formed and packaged in bundles, roots, bags (ie, if during the reception them to the cashier was not provided with the necessary level of radiation control, this rendering of the credit institution for which it incurs losses) », -
