Successful Recovery of Radioactive Capsule in Western Australia After 870-Mile Search

Authorities in Western Australia have successfully recovered a tiny radioactive capsule containing Caesium-137, which had gone missing in the Australian outback. The capsule, smaller than a coin, was located after a week-long search spanning 870 miles of highway. Emergency Services Minister Stephen Dawson praised the search teams for finding the "needle in the haystack". The capsule has been safely removed and will be disposed of in accordance with regulations.
