A lost radioactive capsule found after a search along a 1,400 km stretch of the arid Western Australian outback is due to arrive in Perth on Thursday as investigators work on piecing together just how it fell from a truck.
A highly radioactive capsule that was lost while being transported in Western Australia in January has been found, according to authorities, ending the distressing search for an object that can cause skin burns and even cancer.
Australian authorities are intensifying the search for a missing radioactive capsule that is no larger than a coin that was lost during transport along a vast desert highway.
The coin-sized radioactive capsule that went missing in Western Australia last week has been found by country's emergency services. The authorities in Western Australia's sparsely populated Kimberley region said that they had "literally found the needle in the haystack". The announcement of the loss sparked a frantic search since last week, stoking unprecedented public health warning spanning hundreds of kilometres in the sparsely populated West Australian region.
Australian authorities on Tuesday sent out more personnel and specialised detection equipment to search for a tiny radioactive capsule missing somewhere in the outback, including a team from the country's nuclear safety agency.
