[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 661983, member: 4386"] The Brazilian crystals were also encased - some kids prized the container open with a screwdriver. A similar case with fatalities occurred in Cambodia with cobalt 60, with deaths (also prized open). I am not overly surprised that there is little news - if it is really lost along the highway in a remote area it will more probably never be heard of again or expose anyone. I am very confused as to how a radioactive source capable of emitting (i.e. not shieldsd) could be lost. Sources I have worked with are safely packed for transport and are not "hot" to their surroundings in the form they are transported, only once opened or inserted in the device they are used in.
