One would think it would be easy to find given how radioactive it is. A geiger counter mounted on a vehicle should go off when passing it. The article mentions it was part of some device that presumably also fell off. I wonder if someone saw the device and took it for scrap or out of curiosity.

That’s also what they said when they blew up a 46000 year old indigenous sacred site. It’s just ridiculous at this point. I can’t believe how lax the penalties are >

46 thousand? >

The sacred site belonged to indigenous ancient aliens, of course >

Let’s not bicker and argue about who irradiated who… >

But I'd rather....... >

Oh no, what if this causes mutations and leads to Australia having a bunch of freakishly weird dangerous animals?! >

Anyone driving by it gets an xray amount of radiation 😦 >

Well, at least they feel bad about it. >

Odd, usually those radioactive materials are stored in specifically designed containers to protect anyone nearby, and to secure the device so it is not lost.  They are highly regulated in the USA. >

I’ve been following this as they release data wnd the fompany claims that it was in a special box and such but it apparently had a faulty latch >

Doubtful >

Yep I don’t buy it either tbh but i figured i would throw the official up. >

I work with those machines a lot, a lot of people I see leave them unsecured in the bed of their truck between tests, probably forgot and it fell out somewhere >

So, uh, when will exec heads start rolling? >

They won't, and shouldn't. This is a failure by an individual to secure a device for which they had special training and accreditation to manage. There's no systemic issue here, just a company taking ownership of an individual's error. >

Seems like the best place in the world to lose it >

Most dangerous spiders, most dangerous snakes, most dangerous sharks, even fluffy things like Kangaroo are aggressive and now this. Just. Just avoid Australia. The people are great, but it’s barely worth the risk from Mother Nature 😆 >

Radioactive kangaroos. Last thing we need. >

Mutant kangaroos, or mutant any Australian wildlife, sounds pretty bad. >

Ha! Gave me this image of 5 story kangaroos bouncing through the outback. >

If only there were a device that detects radioactive fields so they can find it... >

You don't detect radioactive fields, you detect particles and gamma rays. >

"COOL THING I found! 
I'll just put this in my pocket and place it on my shelf when I get home. "
