The threat level at all nuclear facilities in Sweden has been raised after an explosive was found at a plant in Ringhals near Gothenburg. Onsite sniffer dogs detected the device on June 20 as the truck on which it was hidden made its way into the reactor area.
“Under the first step onto the truck there is a fire extinguisher and that is where the explosive had been placed,” Gösta Larsen of the Ringhals plant told news agency TT. He added that police suspect the explosive, which was about the size of a fist, was probably made by a civilian and planted on the truck.
