An official with Iraq’s environmental ministry recently admitted thatradioactive materials have been stolen from a storage facility in the city of Basra. Though the admission was made this week, the radioactive materials have been missing since November of 2015.

The material was contained in a laptop sized box, and was stored in a facility owned by Weatherford, a US oil company, and is normally used for testing flaws in oil and gas pipelines. The stolen device contained 10 grams of IR-192 capsules, which is an Iridium isotope, and classified as a category 2 radioactive source by the International Atomic Energy Agency. It’s not clear how potent this particular batch is, but it would likely injure anyone exposed to it within minutes, and kill within hours.
