A cargo truck stolen early on Tuesday while transporting cobalt-60, a radioactive cobalt isotope, was found yesterday afternoon. The truck, along with its contents, had been abandoned in a rural area about a kilometer from the farm town of Hueypoxtla, Mexico, the National Post reported. Mexican authorities had been searching urgently for the truck and its contents since it was nabbed by two armed men en route to a nuclear waste storage facility. Unfortunately, in their ignorance, the men removed the cobalt-60 from its protective casing. Jimenez believes that as a result they will have severe problems with radiation and will, without a doubt, die. Residents of Hueypoxtla will not be affected.
