CAIRO: Radioactive material has been stolen from a nuclear power station on Egypt's Northern coast, according to a report from Egypt's state-run Al-Ahram newspaper. A safe containing radioactive material was stolen from the Dabaa nuclear power plant, and another was broken into, with part of its contents stolen. The Egyptian government has deployed special teams to track down the stolen materials, according to the Al-Ahram report. The Dabaa plant was the site of mass protests last week, as about 500 Egyptians set out to demand the relocation of the controversial nuclear plant, which is still under construction. Military police worked to disperse the protesters, as they exchanged gunfire and hurled stones at one another, devolving quickly into violence. Some protesters angry over the construction of the site have claimed that they lost their land due to the plant's construction. Plant staff has stayed away from the site because of the unstable security situation in the area, as controversy continues.
