Australian authorities have deployed more personnel and specialized equipment as they continue searching for a small radioactive capsule that fell off a truck somewhere in the Outback.

“The equipment can detect radiation emitted by the missing capsule and is currently being used around the Perth metropolitan area and outskirts.” The 8-millimeter-long capsule contains Caesium-137, which emits radiation equal to 10 x-rays per hour. The capsule was part of a gauge that measures iron ore density that belonged to Rio Tinto Ltd, a specialist contractor for packaging.
