Misleading. Had to read deep down to find out they only lost their source check samples.

They will find it when the perps are found fried. I can hope, can’t I?
This probably is not a big danger since these calibrating samples were probably emitters of very low levels of radiation. It would appear to me that you would want to be able to pick up the slightest of radioactive particulars so there would be no need for more powerful emitters.
Of course my Nuclear Engineering license was revoked last year.

The next day a flashy silver car going just over 80 mph on the local interstate, up and disappeared.
All that was found was a California license plate still spinning...

Minuscule amounts.
Plutonium used to be regularly used in certain consumer and medical products back in the 60s and 70s.

Reminds me of the time I left a doomsday device in the back of my pickup.
Never did find out where that went.

There are laws and regulations that subjects must follow for the safe handling of radioactive materials. Seems tha they don’t apply to apparatchiks.

Real genius. High crime area, so they leave valises, clearly visible, in the back seat of the car, overnight. Heaven forbid they exert themselves and carry them inside the hotel. Brilliant. I’ll bet they were shocked to find the car had been broken into. Probably got a promotion.

Hopefully they misspelled PU and meant polonium.

Were the irresponsible bum federal “workers” fired? Probably, they got some sort of bonus.

Radioactive or not, plutonium is also a deadly poison.
