Two incidents involving missing radioactive cargo occurred in the West.
In the United States, radioactive material containing a germanium isotope disappeared after being sent for disposal by an oncology clinic in New Jersey. The shipment inexplicably failed to reach its destination.
"The transport container arrived at its destination damaged and empty. The licensee (oncology center) filed a claim with the shipper. If the source is not found within 30 days, the licensee will submit a full written report, including root causes and corrective actions," stated a document from the U.S. regulator.
Meanwhile, yesterday, the Spanish newspaper El Pais reported that a container with selenium-75, used for X-rays, went missing at Madrid Airport. However, inspectors quickly located the missing container. It was intact, and no leaks occurred.
