Radioactive capsule goes missing in Australian outback

A tiny 8mm by 6mm radioactive capsule went missing in January 2023, somewhere along a 1400 kilometre journey from Rio Tinto’s Gudai-Darri iron ore mine to its final destination in Perth, Western Australia. Find out how ANSTO's CORIS360® technology identified the exact location of the missing source.
