askandanswer Posted January 30, 2023 Report Posted January 30, 2023 The short version: A radioactive capsule measuring 8mm by 6mm fell off the back of a truck somewhere on the 1,400 kilometer route from a mine to a major city.

The package left the mine on January 11 but nobody realised it was missing until January 25. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-01-28/radioactive-capsule-search-perth-to-pilbara-/101902914 LDSGator, Anddenex and Backroads 3 Quote
