Authorities in West Australia were searching for a tiny but potentially deadly radioactive capsule that got lost while being transported on a truck from a mine to a depot in the city of Perth, officials said Saturday.
The small silver cylinder is a 19-becquerel caesium 137 ceramic source commonly used in radiation gauges.
Robertson previously said the unit emits the equivalent of 10 X-rays in an hour and members of the public should stay at least 5 meters away. Contact could result in skin damage, burns and radiation sickness, including impacts to the immune and the gastrointestinal systems."Our concern is someone will pick it up, not knowing what it is, think this is something interesting keep it," Robertson said.
