some homey prolly stole it to finance his crack, it will end up in the local crackandpawn, unless it gets opened then it will all be a CIA plot to kill the black man, like the dikes in NO:D

I worked with many different radioactive sources when I was in the oil logging business. Some were neutron emitters and some were gamma ray emitters. They were powerful but I doubt that you could come anywhere near making a dirty bomb out of them.

First off the sources we used were not plutonium. I doubt the bridge inspectors use it either.

Second the amount of material in our very strong sources were in the order of grams. You need kilograms to make a bomb sized payload.

Finally because they are encased in a number of layers of metal it is almost impossible to get to the source without getting totally irradiated or having the right tools.

To find the missing source all they have to do is fly over the city in a helipcopter with a gamma detector and it will spike when they get anywhere near an unsheilded source. That is what my company did in Nigeria to find the sources that were stolen from our bunker one time.

What Habu said.  We've used them before to do PMI's on metals when our customers required certs.

Civil engineers use something similar to verify the compaction around piping when we backfill after excavation work.

Up here someone stole one once, they put the fact that it was radioactive out in the media,(since I guess the thieves were too stupid to know what the symbol is for), and the next day someone left it outside of a post office.

 We laughed and wondered if the cops thought of notifying the local hospitals about anyone who might be showing up in the emergency rooms wondering if they had radiation poisining, lol.

Somethings are just so wrong, funny, but still just so wrong.
:rofl

BTW they recovered the camera on the off ramp of a Highway just less than 3 miles away from where it was stolen.

So Tulsa lives on.....

Stolen my A22, I bet it fell off the truck that was using it. It has happened that the soil testing guys left a soil density tester (uses an atomic source) on a construction site in Palm Beach a couple of years ago and reported it stolen. News media went nuts, warnings, dirty bomb ect.

Police found it at the last job they were on after reviewing job logs, three hours later (what took so long to look there?).
