FedEx finds missing cannister of low-level radioactive material in Knoxville » The Commercial Appeal: "FedEx officials found an unmarked box of low-level radioactive material in their Knoxville station around mid-day today and canceled a search for the errant shipment.
“It was in our custody all this time,” said FedEx spokeswoman Sandra Munoz.
The company had notified FedEx Express stations nationally to be on the lookout for a misdirected package after the box wasn’t delivered to a Knoxville business Tuesday.
It was one of three boxes containing a substance called GE 68 or Germanium-68, used in quality control calibrations of CT scans. A hospital shipped the boxes from Fargo, N.D., to the East Tennessee company by way of the FedEx hub in Memphis.
FedEx launched the search after the recipient reported only two of three boxes in the shipment arrived Tuesday."
