Radioactive lightning preventers stolen from Swords

Stheno · 2013-10-02 14:33:11

Gardai are appealing to the thieves who stole these to return them as they are dangerous A couple of hours exposure to these would be the equivalent of a years radiation! I suspect the people who stole them thought they had some value in scrap metal?

That's scary, it's good to know what they look like just in case.
