Researchers found radioactive material in a foundry in Thailand. It could be the steel cylinder that disappeared last week from a coal-fired power station six miles away. The container may have “already melted”.
That said the governor of Prachinburi province, Ronnarong Nakornjinda, on Monday. The radioactive material is contained in an enclosed space. According to health officials, the 70 workers at the foundry where it was found are doing well so far. Authorities are now monitoring radiation levels in the area. So far, no radioactive material has escaped from the controlled area,” said Kitkawin Aramrun of the Thailand Nuclear Research Agency. She is confident that the situation can be kept under control.
As reported last week, a 25-kilogram steel cylinder disappeared from a coal-fired power station in Prachinburi, ten kilometers away. During a routine check, personnel noticed that the cylinder was no longer there. This was part of a device to measure the vapor pressure in the factory and, according to official information, contained the highly radioactive caesium-137. While searching for the container, Thai researchers have now discovered the radioactive material in a foundry.
Haircut in Australia
The casing is reminiscent of a small caesium-137 capsule that was lost in Australia in mid-January. She fell off a truck while being transported from an iron ore mine and was found two weeks later.
