Radioactive Material Goes Missing During Shipment Between Ohio and Michigan
Newsweak ^ | 7-30-21 | TOM BATCHELOR

A shipment of radioactive material being transported between facilities in Ohio and Michigan has gone missing, according to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

In a "Current Event Notification" report published on Thursday, the NRC said it had received an email from the Ohio Bureau of Radiation Protection stating that a shipment of Iridium-192 had not arrived at its destination in Michigan.

The report said the carrier believed the package had been delayed at their facility but later said it could not be located."Category 2 sources, if not safely managed or securely protected, could cause permanent injury to a person who handled them, or were otherwise in contact with them, for a short time (minutes to hours)," it said.

"It could possibly be fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded radioactive material for a period of hours to days. These sources are typically used in practices such as industrial gamma radiography, high dose rate brachytherapy and medium dose rate brachytherapy."

Ir-192 is used in industrial gauges that inspect welding seams and in medicine to treat certain cancers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Biden threw down the challenge : Nukes and F-15s. The first President in history to threaten the citizens and not a peep from the MSM.

The Bidet leftist fanatics have been waiting for a right wing extremist insurrection to crush.

They don’t have one—so they will just have to invent one.

Interesting. High Islamic area between locations and considering happenings in the Middle East between Israel, Russia, Iran etc.

But wouldn’t put it past any faction at this point.

The “MSM” is dead .... the “Enemedia” is alive and well and you will never hear a word of TRUTH from them ... all lies about everything.

Real journalism is a lost art. I do wonder where the shipment spent two weeks, though.
