Search intensifies for missing radioactive cylinder in Thailand
Authorities in Thailand are searching for a metal cylinder containing Caesium-137, a highly radioactive substance that can cause serious health problems, which went missing from a power plant in a populated area. The cylinder was reported missing during routine checks on March 10 and contains a substance that has a half-life of about 30 years, posing a risk to the population for decades to come if not found. Search teams, drones, and robots have been deployed to recover the missing cylinder, and authorities are warning the public of serious health risks should they come across it.
