The capsule is believed to have fallen from a road train that made a 1,400 km journey in Western Australia and its loss has triggered a radiation alert for large parts of the vast state
Australian authorities on Tuesday sent out more personnel and specialized detection equipment to search for a tiny radioactive capsule missing somewhere in the outback, including a team from the country’s nuclear safety agency.
The hunt involves a slew of government agencies including the Department of Defence, the police and now the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency and the Australian Nuclear and Science Technology Organisation. Centurion said in a statement that the capsule was dislodged from equipment contained in a crate. The transport crate and pallet were supplied by SGS, a Centurion spokesperson told Reuters by phone.The road train travelled from Rio’s Gudai-Darri mine in the state’s remote Kimberley region to a storage facility in the suburbs of Perth – a distance longer than the length of Great Britain.
