>> Its loss sparked an unprecedented public safety warning over 1,400km […] a search vehicle was driving past at 70 kilometres per hour on the Great Northern Highway when a detection device revealed radiation. […] 20 metre "hot zone" has been set up around the capsule to ensure the public's safety.
Why did it take 5-days to find it? Even just two vehicles driving from either start or end of the path should have covered the path in 10-hours; based on the actual location, it should have been found in 3-4 hours.
- Someone1234 4y agoIf we had vehicles at either end of the path already configured for positional radiation detection, sure. To determine what needs to happen could have taken a day or more, then a couple of days or more to get the equipment/expertise/calibration done. You're acting like a very specialized operation is some day-to-day occurrence that they should have rolling stock and experts ready to go at a moments notice. That has no basis in reality.
