Never thought I would see ROTLD 2 come to life

 :-DD :-DD

The article has a bit of a Simpsons vibe. A 6mm x 8mm capsule falling of a truck through a bolt hole.  :palm:

coppercone2:
needs lockwire, or a cotter pin. Why do I have a feeling the wheels of trolly cart are better secured then radioactive material?

they should also put a flange on it, so its not tiny. IDK What they were thinking. A square flange would prevent it from rolling. And it should be placed so that if a bolt falls out, it would need to over come gravity. Why is it capable of falling out?

I guess messing with the shape makes it easier to breach or misuse/pry/force. But seriously, cotter pin, lock wire, gravity. Radioactive materials are a dismal problem.  Transport fixture where its upside down during transport.

6mm x 8mm and it fell off the truck somewhere along it's 1400km journey.

I permananly lose bigger things that fall off the front of my bench!
