A train carriage containing controlled nuclear materials was

stolen in Cincinnati today. Its whereabouts are unknown.

The incident occurred on the downtown train line, which runs

from Covington and Ashland stations.

In an email to Ohio news outlets, the U.S. Department of Energy

said it is working with the Federal Railroad Administration to

find the thief.

“The theft of this nuclear material will have significant negative

consequences on public and environmental health, our workforce

and the economy of our nation,” said Tom Hicks, the U.S. Energy

Secretary, in a statement. “Our top priority is to secure the theft

and ensure it doesn’t happen again.”
