Radioactive material found in Puebla
A small cardboard box with the symbol of "radioactivity" was located last night in the city of Puebla.
The Civil Protection authorities ruled that the material had to do with the radioactive soil gauge stolen from the National Construction Laboratory in the State of Mexico.
On the intersections of 13th Street East and 16th South, security forces and military officers arrived at the scene and discovered radioactive medical material but ruled out any risk.
The director of Civil Protection, Gustavo Ariza Salvatori, said that a neighbor discovered the box and informed the authorities.
He said the Committee on Nuclear and Radiological Emergencies was contacted and its specialists determined that the materal found did not put at risk the population.
