Search underway for missing radioactive capsule in WA

It’s been confirmed the capsule can’t be weaponised, though it could cause serious health problems if not handled safely.

Cleanup crews are searching for the silver capsule measuring six by eight millimetres along a stretch of highway near Newman.Authorities are continuing to investigate how the capsule went missing.

Where's the giga counters?

Bkah blah blah same old bollocks

I'd be very surprised if it wasn't found on the 2nd day of it going missing. Plenty of special equipment made for events like this. Slow news , gotta keep the masses in a 'low panic mode.'

Just look for the glowing dog - 'dingo stole my radioactive capsule' !!!

Don’t know much about radioactivity, if it is as dangerous as they say, would it not have been packed in a large lead lined box not just carried in the drivers pocket!!! Bit suspicious looking for a button battery not a box - probably been sold

the panic over a small capsule Imagine if we had a nuke power plant leak or shelled like in Ukraine

GruenTranBlog can you guys help with some PR spin for nuclear? They really need a hand.

Did it fall off the back of a truck?

A hay stack that stretches several 1000 kms. Instructions to the search party would be “Look, just look very busy looking it everyone is no longer looking at us & it all goes away”

Was the transport vehicle a motorbike?

Missing. Sold or stolen maybe.

A wise person once said, It's always in the last place you look or wherever you left it...

Does that mean the searches yesterday and day before were unofficial?

Yeah I hid a bag of various stash about ten years ago up a side road up that way around 10 years ago. If you find it, let me know because that was several thousand dollars for christ sake!!!

So what happens if it ends up in a waterway?

Radioactive capsule missing in WAA radioactive capsule the size of a 10-cent coin has been lost somewhere between a Pilbara mine and Perth in Western Australia. It has sparked a nationwide emergency alert as authorities warn the public to steer clear of the tiny item. The object contains an amount of radiation equivalent to receiving 10 x-rays in one hour and can cause severe skin burns. Anyone who may have driven on the Great Northern Highway freight route since January 10 is asked to check their vehicle tyres for the object. Great for making a beta cell for a remote control submarine to import drugs. A dingo ate it baby and still not a word about robodebt
