Misleading headline. Junk yard workers find radioactive junk. Not an attack.

I recall a similar incident a few years ago in one of the former Soviet republics. Someone found a device abandoned beside a road, and it turned out to be a highly radioactive heater of some sort that was hot enough to kill. I don’t think we ever got an accounting of where that came from either.
But this was not a “Dirty nuke attack” as the headline claims. Speculating what the material might have been used for is just that, speculation; and inflammatory speculation at that. While this is news worthy, it is not a terrorist incident.

I think its a little overdone to call this an attack. This sort of thing has happened before. There was a similar case in Brazil some years ago. Highly radioactive metal has turned up in Europe with shipments from China. We’ve also had a couple of incidents of radioactive medical waste coming into Michigan from Canada.

Don’t quite know what to make of this. Is this a case of someone inside India’s nuke infrastructure trying to make a quick buck by selling material? Epic fail on someone trying to make a bomb? An actual dirty nuke attack?

Applications Car scanning using Co60 γ-ray device. The β-decay energy is low and easily shielded. Both strong γ-lines are of same magnitude therefore 60Co is used as a γ-ray source with an energy around 1.3 MeV. This is a container that contains a small amount of cobalt-60. Main uses for 60Co: * As a tracer for cobalt in chemical reactions, * Sterilization of medical equipment, * Radiation source for medical radiotherapy, * Radiation source for industrial radiography, * Radioactive source for leveling devices and thickness gauges, * As a radioactive source for food irradiation and blood irradiation, and * As a radioactive source for laboratory use. Probably medical scrap. But hey, why waste a chance for hyteria.

This may have been an accident. Somebody was careless about disposing nuclear materials, or someone stole it and abandoned it. But this is certainly more than the usual story of something mildly radioactive. And I’m surprised that the media haven’t picked it up, since if it’s an accident it’s certainly an accident that shouldn’t have happened.

Thats the point. If its in junk yards, how many terrorists have it in a bomb which is now on its way to Washington DC?

Pretty drastic and rapid physical effects. THey didn’t tell all either. SOme of its Obalt 60, the other was called “the substance”, maybe a white liquid.The other material remains unreported but identified y scientists. What do you think it is?
Whatever it was put a man down within a few minutes.
This is not “hysteria.” It is accurate and needed reporting.

You don't know that. It should be treated as such. Its the ultimate terrorist weapo. Just get a lead lined trung and dunp items in various places and see who gets it.
Lovely . Made for terrorists, no explosion, no big hoopla, just devastating rapid death.

How do you know it wasn’t an attack? Your logic as we wage war in international terror is mind boggling .
The perfect terrorist attack is one that does not even look like one. You are a perfect terrorist foil.

It is a safe bet that Mother Theresa or her nuns had nothing to do with this.
