Hmmmm... I wonder if the above news has any relation to this one:

ISIS running training camp on Texas border

[skeeter]

Mexican authorities probably sold it to ISIS.

Or granted it to them.

[Tijeras_Slim]

This has happened many times. Old medical sources, well loggers, etc... Just some guy looking for a quick buck by snagging a “tool box.”

[frog in a pot]

He noted that in previous similar cases the thieves did not even know what kind of material they had taken.

At least not until they read your announcement in the newspaper, Luis. Now they know they have more than just a toolbox full of tools and probably no shortage of serious buyers.

Half life Ir 192 is 74 days

[Ben Mugged]

Not again!!

[Robert DeLong]

There have been three other cases since 2013 and the material was always recovered

They look for the person glowing in the dark.

In Mexico, if it is not bolted down, and even then...................

[ElkGroveDan]

Iridium-192 source was snatched from a truck in a residential parking lot in Cardenas, Tabasco state

The latest thing from Tabasco, Mexico; hot sauce so hot it glows in the dark.

Iridium-192 (symbol 192Ir) is a radioactive isotope of iridium, with a half-life of 73.83 days.[1] It decays by emitting beta (β) particles and gamma (γ) radiation. About 96% of 192Ir decays occur via emission of β and γ radiation, leading to 192Pt. Some of the β particles are captured by other 192Ir nuclei, which are then converted to 192Os. Electron capture is responsible for the remaining 4% of 192Ir decays.[2]

Iridium-192 is also a strong gamma ray emitter. There are seven principal energy packets produced during its disintegration process ranging from just over 0.2 to about 0.6 MeV. Iridium-192 is commonly used as a gamma ray source in industrial radiography to locate flaws in metal components.[3] It is also used in radiotherapy as a radiation source, in particular in brachytherapy.

Iridium-192 has accounted for the majority of cases tracked by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission in which radioactive materials have gone missing in quantities large enough to make a dirty bomb.

Each time that one of these units have disappeared from the hands of companies in charge of them, we have recovered them with the help of the population,"

Each time? How many times has this happened?

[dowcaet]

Yup. If you’re thinking we should be worried. Hell yes, we need to be worried, and as usual the MSM makes no mention of this.

[GOPJ]

What is this? The third time in the last few years?

[eyeamok]

Have they asked Eric Holder to look in his training camp in Mexico that he set up for ISIS?
