Mystery as radioactive shipment goes missing in New Jersey amid drone invasion
Radioactive material went missing in New Jersey earlier this month, fueling conspiracy theories that it could be linked to the mysterious drone sightings. A piece of medical equipment used for cancer scans was shipped from the Nazha Cancer Center in Newfield on December 2 for disposal, but the'shipping container arrived at its destination damaged and empty.' The device, known as a'pin source,' contained a small amount of Germanium-68 (Ge-68) that is used to calibrate a medical scanner's accuracy. If handled without proper gear, it can cause radiation poisoning. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an alert for the missing shipment deemed'less than a Category 3,' meaning it could cause permanent injury if mishandled.
