The Colorado Radiation Program [CRP] is investigating an incident at 711 S. 6th Ave. in Grand Junction, CO. A number of weeks ago, we [CRP] were asked to investigate a crushed car that was rejected at a scrap yard because it set off the radiation detector. Yesterday, [CRP] found in the car, a metal plate approximately 1.5 ft. long, 5 inches wide and less than a half an inch thick that contains Radium-226. The readings on contact with this piece of metal are higher than what our instrument could read which means it's an unknown amount, over 200 mr/hr. Last night, the item was placed in a locked room in a warehouse on the property with no one around it and [CRP] instructed the property owner to not let anyone near it. | The Colorado Radiation Program [CRP] is investigating an incident at 711 S. 6th Ave. in Grand Junction, CO.
