How expensive? From the article: $700,000 expensive. For a "pencil-like cylinder 9 inches long and a third of an inch in diameter." Wow.
EDIT: ah, I was mistaken. See child comment. My error.
- apaprocki 15y agoThe $700k was for the city and port to dispose of the contaminated container since no one was going to do it for them. The cost of a medical facility properly disposing of the original cobalt has to be a fraction of that (but, to the point, not free).
- markbao 15y agoThanks for the clarification, and sorry for the error. Still an astounding amount.
