Introduction.
Regardless of the era, thieves are a profession that is hated, not only causing financial harm to those who work hard, but also making it difficult to find them, and even if they are caught, they are often just a few insignificant possessions that are not severely punished.
However, with the progress of society and the concept of law and order, cameras have been installed in both public places and workplaces to ensure personal safety.
Stolen from the Internet).
But in the early 21st century, when surveillance equipment was not so advanced, stealing scrap from factories became their favorite business, and they could make a lot of money without the danger of getting caught.
Tang Sen, a native of Panzhihua, had the same idea, so when he stole more than 60 pieces of "iron lumps" from the power station for sale, and was caught by the special investigation team and sentenced to 11 years in prison, he was still puzzled by this.
After being stolen, it was able to arouse the great attention of Panzhihua**, and the thief was also sentenced to 11 years in prison.
Named "Iron Lump").
1. Grand Theft.
In February 2002, Panzhihua, the main suspect in the case, Tang Sen, was worried about the new furniture in his home, and because he didn't have enough money, he decided to make it himself.
But as the saying goes, without wood, without wood, even if Tang Sen is the reincarnation of Luban, he can't make furniture, and wood costs money, how can he save money?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Tang Sen's mind, and he remembered that when he was working at the Panzhihua 502 power plant, there was a pile of discarded wood in a dilapidated drainage ditch of the power plant.
Since no one cares about this wood, since you want to use it yourself, why not use it and bring it back directly?
*From the Internet).
Just do it! Tang Sen then remembered that there was a lot of wood piled up here, and it was difficult for him to carry it alone, so he called Xie Xiaorong and Dong Xiaoping in the village and asked them to help get the wood.
On the evening of February 24, near the 502 power plant, Townsend and others gathered together, taking advantage of the night, down the sewer, to the ditch where the timber was stacked.
The three of them quietly sneaked into the warehouse, intending to get more valuable items, and sure enough, the items in the warehouse lived up to expectations, with dozens of "big iron tuozi" piled up together.
CO60) saw those "iron pieces", Tang Sen and the others' eyes lit up, if they were to sell outside, they would definitely make a lot of money. The pattern on the "iron block" is disgusting, but as long as he can take it out for money, he doesn't care.
Then, on the night of the 24th and the night of the 25th, they hid 63 "iron mounds" and 14 lead shells in their homes, and also buried them next to the Jinsha River, ready to **.
When the three people smuggled the goods, they did not realize the fate they were about to face, nor did they realize that what they were about to face was not a harmless metal, nor a metal that could be exchanged for money, but a high-radiation cobalt-60.

2. Deadly cobalt-60
The name "cobalt-60" alone makes many people feel a little strange, but if it is "nuclear radiation", everyone understands the horror of this thing.
There is no doubt that in modern history, chemical research is one of the brightest stars, providing great convenience to human production and medicine, but with it, it is also a series of problems, such as "nuclear radiation".
Cobalt-60, on the other hand, is a type of person who can expose ordinary people to radiation without protection for five minutes. Even if it is not affected, it will die quickly because of the pain.
In Shanxi, a miner found cobalt-60, and his family died from nuclear radiation. Zhang Youchang found a round metal rod at the construction site, and thought it was a good thing, so he put it in his pocket and prepared to go home.
CO60, "small cylinder").
But on this day, Zhang Youchang suddenly became bloodless, his whole body was sore, nauseous and vomiting, he was sent to the hospital, and before he could be rescued, he died, and other employees who worked with Zhang Youchang, including Zhang Youchang's family, also began to faint, and so far, a total of 141 people have been irradiated.
And those thieves, who do not know the horror of this "piece of iron", are still looking for a new buyer.
Dong Xiaoping took cobalt-60 and lead shells home, and his younger brother Dong Square saw this business opportunity and took 2At the price of 2 yuan a kilogram, 14 lead shells were purchased, and then *** was purchased for 6 yuan a kilogram

At this moment, the staff on the side of the power station were planning to transport the pile of cobalt-60 that had been precipitated for a long time to radioactivity monitoring and research, but as soon as they opened the door, they were scared and sweated.
3. A disaster.
Many people wonder why so many manufacturers store cobalt-60.
In fact, cobalt-60 is used in a wide range of applications, and in power plants, it can be used to produce electricity and can also be used to test various qualities.
Moreover, in daily life, it is also a radiation light source, which is also of great help to the ** of malignant tumors. In addition to medicine, the sterilization of food and beverages is also an important application.
Radiotherapy) It can be said that cobalt-60 is a double-edged sword, if it is used well, it will bring huge benefits to the society, but if it is not used properly, it will bring huge trouble to the society, but now, it is missing, after receiving the alarm, Panzhihua ** notified the city ** as soon as possible, formed a special team, and conducted a comprehensive search for the entire area.
At this time, Dong Square bought all these things for $6 a catty, which played a great effect. According to this information, the police found 63 stolen cobalt-60 within seven hours, and arrested the thief Townsend and others, avoiding the harm of these dangerous goods to society.
Nuclear radiation from the Internet**).
In the end, Townsend sentenced him to eleven years in prison for stealing dangerous goods, and the other people involved in the smuggling also received the punishment they deserved.
