Remet is accused of selling Cobalt aluminate to Iranian engineering firm Mavadkaran, which manufactures equipment for Iran’s energy sector.

Although the company’s former sales manager, Jarrad Beddow, claims that there was no law prohibiting the export of the cobalt when it occurred in 2009, it is well know that cobalt aluminate can be used to produce the lethal radioactive isotope cobalt 60. Experts says this material is most likely to be used in a “dirty bomb.” And, Since 2005, there have been reports that Tehran may be attempting to procure dirty bomb materials.
