British John Tinniswood was born in 1912, and has no idea why he has become so old.

The police and emergency services have an ongoing operation at the recycling station Returpunkten in Norrköping.

There, four bottles that have labels with the symbol of radioactivity have been found.

– For safety’s sake, we have evacuated the facility. We have made a first measurement that did not result in radioactivity.

They are now awaiting orders from MSB and the radiation safety authority on how to proceed.

– This is not an everyday job for us, says Martin Olsson.

The bottles are in a plastic tray inside a container.

– Recycling does not have the permission or knowledge to handle this, so it is someone who wrongly put them there.

The police are investigating the incident as a suspected environmental crime and causing danger to others.

At 14.49 the emergency services were on their way from the scene. No measurements have shown radioactivity.

Now the rescue service is said to have put the bottles in an old microwave, waiting for experts to take care of them.

– It takes a lot of resources from us. We are forced to prioritize other things that we would rather have done and which are much more important, and it also affects people’s mobility when we block off, says acting local police area chief Karl Ljungqvist to the radio.

– Despite the tragic outcome, we can state in the investigation that the operation was carried out efficiently and in accordance with RSG’s instructions and guidelines. Unpredictable events can always occur during a rescue operation, but our staff handled the situation in the best possible way, says Göran Kallin, accident investigator, in a press release.
