Urgent public health warning issued over lost radioactive capsule
I am a bit surprised they haven&#x27;t found it a &gt;1mCi Cs137 source should be quite easy to find, it can be detected with a medium sized detector from &gt;10m distance. A car driving along the road with a bunch of detectors in the trunk or a helicopter with a stack of NaI bars mounted on the bottom should see the radiation emitted by the source.<p>I am working at a National Lab in the US and this is the main focus of my research. Please have a look at our website if you are interested in learning more about this type of things [1].<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;anp.lbl.gov&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;anp.lbl.gov&#x2F;</a>
