A truck carrying potentially “extremely dangerous” radioactive material has been stolen in Mexico, the UN atomic watchdog said Wednesday.
The truck was transporting a cobalt-60 teletherapy source intended for medical use to a storage center when it was stolen on Monday in Tepojaco, near Mexico City, the International Atomic Energy Agency said, according to Agence France-Presse.
“At the time the truck was stolen, the source was properly shielded. However, the source could be extremely dangerous to a person if removed from the shielding, or if it was damaged,” the IAEA was quoted as saying.
Mexican authorities were searching for the truck Wednesday morning, according to the report.
