Science Nerd Faces Jail Time for Ordering Radioactive Material Online

2025-03-26

A 24-year-old Australian man, Emmanuel Lidden, faces up to 10 years in jail for ordering radioactive plutonium online as part of his quest to collect all elements of the periodic table. The incident triggered a major hazmat response in August 2023 when the package arrived at his parents' home in suburban Sydney. While his lawyer argued Lidden is an 'innocent collector' with no malicious intent, prosecutors countered that his actions created a market for illegal materials. Lidden pleaded guilty to breaching Australia's nuclear non-proliferation act and will be sentenced on April 11th. The case highlights the dangers of acquiring hazardous materials illegally and the challenges faced by law enforcement.
