Next Time Use DHL
According to CNN, back in October a shipment of radioactive material for Halliburton arrived in New York from Russia, but then WENT MISSING!. It showed up this Wednesday in Boston.
For some reason Halliburton failed to notify the Nuclear Regulatory Commission until Tuesday. The law requires that missing radioactive materials be reported at least within 30 days for the lowest level of regulated material, and some materials require immediate notification.
An NRC spokesman said it would take years to develop a program to track such material while in transit. Might I suggest that the NRC simply demand people use one of the existing services that already provide this service, rather than some new, “pork” project.
