Tue Feb 19 01:44:34 CST 2013

Fairly low key press release and not much coverage for the theft of a 192Ir gamma projector in Lancashire UK.
They say it is a small amount of material , but the pictures are of a GSA Sentinal 880 Delta which is normally used for >50 Curie sources. Apparently it was stolen out of a v an in a residential area.
