Truck flagged for radiation whereas making an attempt supply to recycling plant

A truck was stopped for hauling doubtlessly radioactive supplies at a recycling plant in Houston on Friday. 

The incident occurred on November eleventh in southeast Houston, Texas.

KHOU 11 Information reviews {that a} trucker had picked up a load of steel shavings and was making an attempt to drop them off at a recycling plant close to Kirbyville and Donoho when an alarm for gamma radiation went off. 

The recycling plant refused to just accept the steel shavings, and the hearth division and Houston police have been referred to as in. Responders took extra readings of the shavings and gamma ranges have been detected. Nonetheless, ranges have been decided to be low sufficient for the driving force to proceed transporting the shavings. 

It’s not clear the place the driving force was taking the shavings after the load was rejected on the recycling plant.
