Hueypoxtla radiological incident

On December 4, 2013, a cobalt-60 radioactive source stolen from a truck two days earlier in Tizayuca, Hidalgo, was recovered there, as well as the heavy truck itself; the decommissioned cobalt therapy machine had been en route from Tijuana, Baja California, to proper disposal at a radioactive waste storage centre in the nearby municipality of Temascalapa.[3][4] Federal police and military units established an armed cordon approximately Шаблон:Convert around the exposed radiation source in the empty lot where it had been removed from its protective shielding and abandoned.[5] Classes were suspended for two days at a neighbourhood kindergarten named for Marie Curie.[6] Six people showing signs of possible radiation exposure from the orphan source were later detained.[7] The source's level of radioactivity was reported as 3000 curies (111 terabequerels).[3] It is not known whether the thieves wanted the truck (which included a crane), the cobalt-60, or both.[8]
