I dont know if this news item made it overseas

A radioactive Caesium capsule was lost off the back of a truck, somewhere along a 1400Km stretch of road in outback Australia… and they found it using sophisticsted scanning technology driving along the road at 70Kph. Amazing win for technology.

Hi Neville, :wave:

Yes, indeed. It was even in the local news here in (Southern) Germany.
And the recovery was covered, too. :+1:

Thanks also for the link.

Many greetings from Rosika :slight_smile:

P.S.:

I´ve read through the article in the meantime. Very interesting and thorough.
I´ve learnt quite a bit from reading it.
It´s especially the topic of who´s going to cover the expenses conencted to finding the capsule which wasn´t part of our local coverage.

Thanks again, Neville.

Hi Rosika
Maybe we are not as isolated as we used to be.
There may be some questions asked about security transporting radioactive materials

Regards
Neville

Hi Neville, :wave:

I guess that´s very true.

My understanding is that Australia and some topics related to it are very popular hereabouts.

Many greetings
