URGENT! ALERT FOR RADIOACTIVE SOURCE STOLEN IN NATIONAL TERRITORY (mexico)
mexico gov't. ^ | 4-12-21 | Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection

Posted on 04/12/2021 4:07:15 PM PDT by dynachrome

An industrial radiography equipment, with a high risk to health if the radioactive source is extracted from its container, was violently stolen around 05:00 hours on the entrance road to the municipality of Teoloyucan, State of Mexico.

This Sunday, the National Commission for Nuclear Safety and Safeguards (CNSNS) reported to the National Civil Protection Coordination (CNPC) on the extraction.

For this reason, the CNPC issued an alert directed to the Civil Protection Units of the State of Mexico, Mexico City, Hidalgo, Querétaro, Michoacán, Guerrero, Morelos, Puebla and Tlaxcala.

So now that Joe and the Ho have opened the border to criminal cartels, for the right bribe, the terrorists can bring a dirty bomb right in to the U.S. of A. What the elites have permitted with their stolen election.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I figured this day would be coming.

Heads up

The damage from handling an unshielded 37-curie Ir-192 source in Peru in 1999 is explained (and shown in some graphic pictures) in the 2000 IAEA publication, The Radiological Accident in Yanango.

IF the details are as described above, then it doesn’t sound (to my non-professional mind) as though it would make a good dirty bomb.

But if the details are not accurate, or there is more stolen radio active stuff someone is collecting, then...

And according to the link posted above, BP have devices to check for radioactive stuff at border entrance sites. Do they always have such devices? And now with the floodgates open, anyone could bring anything in and no one would know until it goes boom/fizzle or whatever.

I don’t have the time to read 55 pages of very scientific stuff...could you give a short summary like “this isn’t that bad” or “it could be really bad”?

Glad it didn't remind you of the movie, "Se7en".

Pic of the equipment below. Make and model described in article. Search on that to find.

My guess is it's narcos want it to check out their welds, probably for deeper diving subs.

It wasn't in Illinois, but New Mexico, where a truck hauling some metal products (including table bases) contaminated at a Mexican recyvcling plant with radioactive cobalt-60 from a cancer treatment machine happened to pass radiation detectors on a road near Los Alamos.

The story is told in a Feb. 3, 1984, WP article, "A Chance Encounter Led to the Detection of Radioactive Metal."

Just look at the pics in the article.
You will get a good idea of what radiation can do.

Blatant white-supremacist’s privilege not to have to worry about deadly radioactive material trafficked across the open southern border and disseminated by drug cartels across to red-states in the USA.

Don’t you remember that Americans voted against Comfort, Safety and Peace by the largest margins in history, so check your suburban expectations at the door. And put three masks on you inconsiderate granny killer!

The IAEA photographs (especially Nos. 16 and 17) summarize the results of the radiation damage.

Cobalt 60 is what keeps Supernovas glowing for years after the explosion. It has a half life of 5.3 years.

The perps were said to be absolutely glowing about their latest heist.

Cool. Will this be a Brazil incident all over again. You don’t want to crack that cell open and play with the high energy stuff in your neighborhood. It’ll kill ya good.

The Cobalt-60 accident in Juarez back in 1984 is the one I always think about when I hear these things.

What a damn mess that was.

A Mexican guy had a capsule full of it he forced open at some guys house, he had the highly radioactive pellets all over the back of his pickup truck...kids were playing with them, as the truck drove from place to place and they spilled out all over the place.

They took it to a junk yard, the pellets were picked up by one of those big magnets they use to pick up scrap metal, which they sold to a foundry. At the foundry the scrap was melted into a bunch of radioactive table legs, girders and such that found its way into the US.

They had to use helicopters with detection devices, trucks, detectives, etc.

Ugh.

Thanks, looked at photos.

Can this amount of material stolen be turned into a dirty bomb that could cause some widespread harm?

69 Curies is a lot. I worked on a project that involved chemically stabilizing Cs-137 from nuclear fuel reprocessing - the concentration was 7 Cu/liter. All valve operations had to be via remote manipulators (”waldos”) and watching through a 2 foot thick leaded glass window.

The story is told in a Feb. 3, 1984, WP article, “A Chance Encounter Led to the Detection of Radioactive Metal.”

The article mentions that the Illinois trooper found the table legs actually before the nuclear alert went out. I remember this from a Chicago area point of view. Due to the proximity of the metal to the eventual users and the duration of time of exposure, this would have been particularly bad.
