The capsule, which is filled with Caesium-147 which emits radiation equal to 10 X-rays per hour, was located two meters off the Great Northern Highway near Newman on Wednesday morning local time.
The potentially dangerous radioactive capsule, just 6mm wide and 8mm long, is believed to have fallen from a truck that travelled from the Rio Tinto mine in WA north to a storage facility in Perth, an 870-mile journey.
Article may have made a typo of -147 instead of -137: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137
Health risks:
In 2003, in autopsies performed on 6 children dead in the polluted area near Chernobyl where they also reported a higher incidence of pancreatic tumors, Bandazhevsky found a concentration of 137Cs 40-45 times higher than in their liver, thus demonstrating that pancreatic tissue is a strong accumulator and secretor in the intestine of radioactive cesium.[22]
Treatment counter:
Accidental ingestion of caesium-137 can be treated with Prussian blue (FeIII 4[FeII (CN)3), which binds to it chemically and reduces the biological half-life to 30 days.[23]
