Would this be an industrial radiation emitter source?  Possibly used in radiography  for examining pressure vessels?

dont they use radiography to check for cracks in new welds?

The article has the answer...:thumbsup:

 

An expert in the disposal of radioactive materials, Sumetha Wichienpet, said that Caesium-137 was used in checking for invisible cracks in pipelines in the power plant, adding that the radiation emitted from Cesium-137 into the environment does not exceed 7 Rem but, in nature, the amount of radiation should not exceed 1 Rem.

Must have missed that. My bad. ????

And then someone cuts open the source! ????

Should we belive this "expert" ?  After all TIT.

Why does a steam powered plant have this, is it then by any chance a nuclear power plant?

The full article claims...they were using the radioactive materials to check for otherwise invisible cracks in steam lines...

 

At least, that's their story, and they're sticking to it.

The picture does not look like a mobile device (radiation source)used to inspect the integrity of welds to me.

In my industry the equipment is carried to the location of the weld to be inspected and usually there is a 10 meter barrier put in place before "bombing" of the weld is carried out.

I was wondering the connection of the post pic and the story?

would it not be better to give the public the correct photo so they can identify the object.

Do you think it is still in Thailand?
