(PCC)What could go wrong? The government in New Jersey misplaced a complete freight container of extremely radioactive isotopes a few weeks ago, and they have yet to locate it. Where might it be?
Listen up! Earlier this month, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) acknowledged a shipment of hazardous isotope material disappeared in New Jersey. The disclosure has caused a flurry of conjecture, with many believing the incident is connected to the unexplained spike in drone sightings throughout the state, which many believe to be fitted with radiation-sensing equipment.
OMG! On December 2, 2024, the Nazha Cancer Center in Newfield transported a Ge-68 pin source for appropriate disposal. Upon arrival, we discovered the cargo freight container empty and broken, with no indication of the radioactive materials inside.
The missing cargo freight container contained about 0.267 millicuries (mCi) of germanium-68, a radioactive isotope required to calibrate medical imaging equipment. Despite the material’s notable radiation level and its metered status within the IAEA’s (International Atomic Energy Agency) Category 3 threshold, incorrect handling could potentially lead to major negative effects and make it a prime candidate for a dirty bomb. …Of course, the same group that reported the radioactive isotope’s harmlessness is also the one that lost it!
Speculation grew when tales of drones flying low over New Jersey surfaced. The CEO of Saxon Aerospace, a company that makes drones, John Ferguson, speculated the drones might be “sniffers,” meant to identify radiation or other dangerous substances on the ground.
Both National Security Communication Advisor John Kirby and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have played down the drone sightings, saying there is no known national security danger. Their statement essentially said, “There is nothing to see here!” We’re from the government, and we got it under control!” Interestingly, the same individuals who are attempting to reassure the terrified masses are also the ones responsible for the loss of the radioactive isotope cargo container. Duh!
The NRC has issued an alert regarding the misplaced shipment, instructing the concerned corporation to submit a comprehensive incident report within 30 days if the material cannot be located. At this point it is not known if any report has come forward.
The authorities declared, “It isn’t appropriate for building a nuclear weapon.” However, bad actors could use a radioactive device to create a “dirty bomb”. But of course stories like these can only be seen of the Simpsons.
2023: A similar incident occurred when radioactive seeds from a hospital in Texas vanished.
2021: A nuclear moisture density gauge in North Carolina disappeared.
The IAEA has warned that people may traffic or use stolen radioactive material as a weapon. Although such materials are normally safe when used appropriately, they could become harmful if employed maliciously, according to former IAEA radiation safety director Abel Gonzalez. The expert’s statement sent waves of relief through the frighten herd of sheep.
The connection between the radioactive accident and the drone activities is still hypothetical but fascinating as the hunt for the lost Ge-68 pin source continues. Without formal acknowledgement, the enigma has become increasingly complex, leaving the public with more questions than answers.
Final Word: Alright, I know what you’re thinking! The government is using drones to detect radiation and locate a missing cargo freight container somewhere in America, right? But hold on! Why did the government already have so many drones built? How could the government have built tens of thousands of drones overnight if just half of the sightings are accurate? Thousands and thousands of drone sightings can’t all be false. Or is there more to this story?
- a standard shipping container is approximately 10 feet wide by 8 feet high by 40 feet long, which is approximately 3,200 square feet and can hold 67,200 lbs. The size of the Atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima was approximately only 10 feet long by 28 inches round and 9,000 lbs. (I thought you needed to know this)
