a U.S. government sensor detected an unauthorized shipment of radioactive material

Officials say it is impossible to tell exactly what the radioactive material was. It could be an unregistered shipment of heavy-duty construction or medical equipment that uses radioactive material; there is even the possibility that the detection devices raised a false alarm.

If I understand the technology correctly, another possibility is the sensor detected the shipment of a nuclear device. I assume a nuke would register on the detection devices.
