Today the state-run Xinhua news agency cited minister of environmental protection Zhou Shengxian saying that the quake buried 32 sources of radiation under rubble in Sichuan Province, the heart of the disaster zone. (See photos of the aftermath from the quake.)
All but two have been recovered, and the remaining two have been located, cordoned off, and will soon be transported to a safer location, Xinhua said.
Hans Kristensen, a nuclear arms expert at the Federation of American Scientists, was skeptical that the Chinese government has released no information on damage to the nuclear weapons plants.
"I find it hard to believe, given the widespread destruction in this region, that the military plants that have nuclear materials somehow escaped
reach," he said.
