U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Releases Report Confirming Radioactive Material Lost in Transit — Shipping Container Arrives ...
The NRC's alarming report on lost radioactive material raises urgent questions about safety and possible connections to mysterious drone activity in New Jersey. Discover the full story and implications.
That's what the drones are "sniffing" for.
No it's not
Oh, do tell. I love to hear truth.
I dont have the truth on this to share. Just know what is probably not the truth in this case. Drone sniffing isn't really a thing. Yeah there's AARM systems but they would not operate on how this is being pushed. And as stated this NRC reportable I'm near certain would not be justification for immediate detection efforts like how this is being pushed to appear like.
Explains the drones
No it doesnt
it literally does
It literally does not. If you bothered to read the NRC report and knew what the actual source is that's been reported as lost. It is important as far as hazmat control is concerned. Entirely insignificant in regard to health and safety and a dirty bomb. Or this ridiculous perpetuation of radiation sniffing drones. How exactly does a tiny radioactive source that poses no danger unless ingested explain the activation of an army of drones that supposedly sniff out radiation. Lol I'd love to hear the answer you come up with.
You're right, federal bureaucrats would never lie on a report.
You obviously don't understand how the NRC report and notification system works. Lol understandable.
Yes, the small rad amount is a non starter. A question I would like an answer to is, how much rad danger would trigger this kind of drone response?
The container arrived heavily damaged. Not a crash but was damaged. Perhaps when the material was stolen, the breach of the container received heavy damage. A lot of work for what they report.
Which has to be true because we are never lied to by them.
I didn't see anything describing the container was damaged. That detail is of importance and if it was the shipping container, overpack, or the or the DOT 7A Type A container. As far as a threshold that really can't be answered since there isn't a response, at least public, proposing drone sniffers en masse.. But immediate responses and recovery, it's usually a very significant amount that I've ever seen.i.e. Cesium-137 experimental medical source at 3800 Ci Last one I worked on.
Possible distraction for something more severe. My statement was a probability
That very could be the case if these "drones" are being deployed to detect something.
This is a red herring. The radioactive isotope in the medical device uses a GE-68 pin source is a calibration tool used in PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scanner systems. It is a small, cylindrical source of Ge-68 (a radioactive isotope of germanium) uniformly dispersed in a ceramic medium, surrounded by an outer stainless steel tube, and permanently sealed with end caps.
In order to weaponize it, someone would have to open the capsule up to get at the germanium plug and then mill it into a fine powder which presents all sorts of problems, particularly inhalation risks.
The dust would need to be distributed by drone or explosion dispersal. Ge-68 has a short half life of 271 days. This machine was being decommissioned of the "pit" itself was being moved and awaiting a new pit.
If I were to build a radiological destructive device, this wouldn't be the isotope of choice. However, the more Curies a pit emits, the more dangerous it is to handle.
From my limited knowledge, Ge-68 is about a 2/10 on the radioactive scale. It would take 2 weeks of constant exposure to the pit to reach dangerous exposure levels.
Lol glad someone posted this. It's absolutely improbable an army of "drones" would be activated to "sniff" out a level 3 NRC unreportable source.
What I keep finding interesting is all this talk about radiation sniffing drones. It may exist but I have never heard of or seen such a technology and if it does exist, that would be on the level of advanced technology similar to a "UFO". But this topic is getting tossed around as if it's like totally normal lol.
"From my limited knowledge, Ge-68 is about a 2/10 on the radioactive scale. It would take 2 weeks of constant exposure to the pit to reach dangerous exposure levels"------and you are correct, additionally it would have to be direct constant contact in order to reach this threshold.
They would be searching for this: https://radqual.com/product/ge-68-line-source-bm6802-050/
If they are really searching, it's for cesium or stronger. Again, throwing a pit isn't a big deal. It's dispersal that presents challenges.
Possibly but I highly doubt it. That's a fairly small source and it's low intensity. Additionally what is inside that source is a pill, not a pit fyi. The pill would not require breakdown into fine particles in order to be a "dirty" bomb, that can be achieved under the right thermal and explosive mechanisms but would be limited in damage and affect in contrast. And ultimately the yield would be insignificant unless the intended disaster event from that would be to contaminate to cause ingestion of the particles.
Headlines that make you go hmmmm......
This could be misdirection. Downplaying the severity of the situation so as to not cause panic. They know people are catching on that something serious is going on.
Agreed.
They needed a cover story, one less scary than the real op
...dirty bomb....and this is how Trump won't gt in office.
Um no not even close.
Nuclear Material lost in transit. Boss announces he’s not going to Bedminister after all. Me thinks the two are related.
"lost" in transit or simply stolen????
That cross dressing freak is at it again...
Fucking Porch Mo….wait I don’t think I can say that. Ok, Trunk Monkey it is…

This is a small amount of medical grade nuclear material. Hardly enough to make you temporarily sick.
