According to Prime Minister’s Office Minister Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, the premier ordered relevant agencies to inspect industrial areas and said the government is working quickly to resolve the situation at Kabin Buri. The statement was made after a cesium-137 radioactive isotope cylinder, which went missing last week, was recovered during an inspection of steel smelting plants in Kabin Buri district’s industrial area. Prachin Buri provincial authorities later announced the closure of the smelting factory and implemented a lockdown of the area, ordering all employees to evacuate the facility for safety reasons. The Pollution Control Department has meanwhile concluded its investigation of radiation levels at six locations near the steel factory and reported that none of the sites were contaminated. Police are currently looking into the disappearance of the cylinder and how it was handled at the district metal factory.

Let's hear some international professional chemist or radiation expert explain the chemistry and risks. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong way round. As usual, Thailand does things backwards. You conduct inspections BEFORE reassuring people, not after. Even if the reassurance is a lie anyway, to avoid panic and unrest in society, as they love to spout. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcojco Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 in short "we" and probably "they" don't know anything about the real ray of spreading. The winds are blowing South since a week and are announced to continue in that direction for the coming days. Better buy a Geiger counter yourself if you want to know if you are concerned.

"You" and "they" could research this yourself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137 and https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/emergencies/isotopes/cesium.htm There wasn't enough in that capsule to present any danger if it was smelted or burned unless someone was in close proximity at the time. The only danger would have been to anyone who handled it, or if someone at the factory inhaled fumes from it, and that is unlikely. That's the REAL science. But believe what you want.

Jonathan Swift Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 rather than make comments that are not based on reliable facts, and reflect little to no knowledge of the actual science, you people could actually research this yourselves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137 and https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/emergencies/isotopes/cesium.htm There wasn't enough in that capsule to present any danger if it was smelted or burned unless someone was in close proximity at the time.
