##  [Toxic sludge kills in Hungary](https://cbrneworld.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=974:toxic-sludge-kills-in-hungary&catid=12)

 Written by S Johnson on 06 October 2010.

Seven died, with many houses affected, when a heavy metal rich sludge affected a 19 mile stretch of the river Danube in Hungary. MAL Hungarian Aluminium’s chemical reservoir burst, resulting in miles of pollution, the company has made 110,000 Euros available as immediate aid to the affected families, but the final bill is likely to be much higher. As the sludge dried in the sun the risk of it becoming airborne increased and officials insisted that people in the vicinity wore face masks to avoid the mild radiological threat.

$268 million was the final sum, equating at $7.55 a share, that FLIR paid to turn ICx into a wholly owned subsidiary. FLIR are an thermal imaging and optics company, with little cross over with the ICx business, so their statement that it “represents an opportunity to expand our business into several attractive adjacent technologies” is not idle spin. There is of course speculation as to what bits it might divest itself of – especially once it realises that the 'flash to bang’ of CBRN contracts is different to other, more commercial, fields – but it will bring both players into the orbit of some very different customers. Watch this space…

ICx announced that they had launched the next generation of their IdentiFinder radiation detector – cunningly named identiFinder 2! The system keeps its easy three button interface and adds radionuclide identification, transflective display , Bluetooth, reachback and GPS as well as a web interface. There will be two versions a 1.4” X 2” Nal(Tl) detector with optional neutron detector and a Ultra model with LED stabilisation.

Despite sounding like one of Superman’s relatives, kal-azar has continued to spread through Southern Sudan, killing over 300 people. Leishmaniasis, or kal-azar, is spread by a sand fly and spreads into the liver and spleen and the number of cases has increased six fold in one year. WHO reported that it was difficult to contain the outbreak in Africa’s largest country.

A new MO has been isolated in suicide bombers after the failed assassination of Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Nayef. The suicide bomber had hidden the explosives in his anal cavity, with it presumably set off by some form of remote control (since the bomber was in a crowd at the time), and while the attempt failed it has raised alarms in aviation security.

Smiths Detection, perhaps in timely response to the attempted ass-assassination of Prince bin Nayaf (see below) announced that their B-Scan provided fast, non-intrusive internal and external search for hidden weapons and other contraband. The device uses a smaller dose that backscatter x-ray and in a single pass can do an individual in seven seconds, allowing the operator to evaluate the image for hidden objects. A good piece of kit, but it will be a civil liberties nightmare for aviation security and passengers…

General Dynamics Armaments and Technical Products (GDATP) announced that they have launched their I-SCAD, stand off chemical detector. Based on the US Military’s JSLSCAD the I-SCAD will provide customers with on-the-move passive IR detection capability in 360 degrees. Covering a wide spectrum of CWA and TICs the device will also provide a relative position of the detected agent.

Russia clained that nearly half of their chemical weapons stockpile has been destroyed. Itar-Tass announced that the Ministry for Trade and Industry had destroyed 19,300 tons of chemical weapons and that two more facilities were going to be commissioned shortly. Under the OCPW Russia needs to destroy its stocks by April 2012, but President Medvedev announced in May that it was more likely to be April 2015.

There have been signs of increased CBRN defence capability towards a, currently, nebulous (but no doubt intelligence driven) threat, but a Summit in Herzloya has perhaps given a further insight into their concerns. Brig.-Gen. (Res.) Nitzan Nuriel, director of the National Security Council's Counter-Terrorism Bureau stated that Syria’s Scientific Studies and Research Center will be “demolished” if it continues to arm terrorist groups with non-conventional weapons. The Director of the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism later went on to say that there was a “strong possibility that terrorists would launch a limited chemical terror attack” in the coming years. Israeli scare-mongering and sabre rattling is nothing new, but suffice to say that any terrorist use of CWA against them would be a game changer – and that new game would not be pretty.

While the GAO gets its teeth sunk into the FBI the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee was also handing out some whup-ass to the DHS for over-spending and delaying efforts in next generation radiological detection. Senators Liebermann and Collins chastised DHS for failing to have a strategic plan for radiological smuggling as well as spending five years and $400 million on two failed programs – the Advanced Spectroscopic Portal monitor system and the Cargo Advanced Automated Radiography System.
