I got a question how do you lose radioacive device HELLO LOL! A tiny capsule containing radioactive cesium 137 was lost somewhere on a 1400-kilometer stretch of road in Western Australia. The mining giant Rio Tinto, which owns the device, has launched its own investigation. A mining company, Rio Tinto, apologized on Sunday for the loss of a highly radioactive capsule over a 1,400-kilometer (870-mile) stretch of road in Western Australia. The capsule, which contains a small amount of radioactive cesium 137, is about 6 millimeters in diameter and 8 millimeters tall. It was part of a device believed to have fallen from a truck while being transported between a desert mine north of the town of Newman and the city of Perth. The device was last seen on January 10, and he truck transporting the capsule arrived at a Perth depot on January 16. However, emergency services were notified of the missing capsule on Wednesday, and the information was only made public on Friday. www.dw.com/en/australia-mining-giant-sorry-for-losing-radioactive-device/a-64549665
