NTI is also working with officials in California, which has a large number of radioactive sources, to raise awareness and address the risk.
In Atlanta, NTI worked with Emory University Hospital, which received a Medical Innovation Award at the 2016 Nuclear Industry Summit for its efforts to reduce radiological threats by replacing a cesium-137 blood irradiator. (Tip: Dont make it too thin or the flower seed bomb ingredients will start to fall through and youll might lose some of them.) Pour the dirt on the clay. In New York City, Mount Sinai Hospital has committed to replacing all of its cesium-137 blood and research irradiators with x-ray technology and the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is promoting a city-wide campaign to eliminate all dangerous radioactive sources as rapidly as possible. Jul 2016, 15:34: Soziall: Kommt da noch mal was neues oder wars das No more support Sa 28. Jul 2016, 22:50: teazix: Dirty bomb detected the hack, do some things please Mi 13. NTI works with hospitals, governments and the private sector to raise awareness about the threat of cesium-137 and other dangerous isotopes, and to encourage the use, where feasible, of safe and effective alternative technologies for eliminating the threat permanently. dipbot v0.9 for dirty bomb (DETECTED DO NOT USE)2016:Dipbot is not dead, but its not worth releasing. Aug 2016, 20:12: Morrrriii: cant watch vid Fr 15. Replacing the cesium-137 irradiators with these x-ray devices has security and fiscal benefits: It require less security and completely eliminates the threat, doesn’t require expensive disposal at the end of the machine’s life cycle, eliminates liability and protects hospitals without insurance to cover terrorism losses. Cesium-137 blood irradiators are used in many countries around the world, and there are hundreds in the United States alone.įortunately, significant advancements in technology in recent years have yielded safe and effective alternative non-radioactive x-ray devices for sterilizing blood that are approved by the U.S. If used in a dirty bomb, the highly dispersible powder would contaminate an area for years, costing billions of dollars in evacuation, demolition and clean-up. However, it is also the most dangerous of all radioactive isotopes.
Radical terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State have stated their interest in acquiring and using radioactive material in a dirty bomb, and in 2016, Belgian investigators discovered terrorists monitoring an employee at a highly enriched uranium reactor that also produces medical isotopes for a large part of Europe.Ĭesium-137 is an isotope used medical equipment such as blood irradiators. The risk of a radiological “dirty bomb” attack continues to grow.
