On May 23, 2018, a scrap yard identified a radioactive source in an outgoing load of waste intended for a landfill. The radioactive source is one inch long and approximately one-half inch in diameter. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services responded to the scrap yard on May 25, 2018, and measured a maximum exposure rate of 210 mR/hr on contact with the source. The source was confirmed to not be leaking. There are no markings or numbers on the source, and isotope identification is pending. It is not known how long the scrap yard was in possession of the source. The source is now in secured storage at the scrap yard. Additional updates will be provided as information about the source and possible original device become available. | On May 23, 2018, a scrap yard identified a radioactive source in an outgoing load of waste intended for a landfill.
