Hi Mark,
I just 'discovered' your site today.01/02/2023
Interesting sideline.
A radioactive capsule (6mm x 8mm) has been lost in the road journey from Rio Tinto mine site to their yard in Malaga in Perth, West Australia.

There are crews walking the road with geiger counters, searching for the fingernail size capsule.
The distance is longer than from Lands End to J of Groats. 1400km
