The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Fee (NRC) has confirmed that radioactive materials was misplaced in transit earlier this month, heightening fears about public security and sparking theories about mysterious drone exercise in New Jersey In accordance with The Gateway Pundit
Officer Lew, a distinguished political commentator, highlighted the NRC’s occasion report throughout a evaluate of regulatory alerts.
“Whereas wanting on the Nuclear Regulatory Fee Alerts. I can verify that there’s radioactive materials that has gone lacking on Dec 2nd, 2024 out of New Jersey. This is perhaps the explanation for the drones… simply hypothesis at this level,” he wrote.
The lacking materials, recognized as a Ge-68 pin supply manufactured by Eckert & Ziegler, was reported misplaced by its licensee on December 3, 2024. Shipped for disposal, the container arrived at its vacation spot severely broken and empty.
The merchandise, known as a “pin supply,” accommodates a small quantity of the radioactive isotope Germanium-68, which is used to calibrate the accuracy of PET scanners.
In accordance with the NRC’s report, the radioactive supply, whereas categorised as “Lower than IAEA Class 3,” nonetheless poses potential dangers if mishandled or uncovered for extended durations.
The next info was offered by the New Jersey Division of Environmental Safety (NJDEP) by way of e-mail:
“The licensee reported to NJDEP on December 3, 2024, {that a} Ge-68 pin supply that they despatched for disposal has been misplaced in transit on December 2, 2024.

“This occasion is reportable beneath 10 CFR 20.2201(a)(1)(ii).”
New Jersey Occasion Report ID quantity: To be decided
THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A ‘Lower than Cat 3’ LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
Sources which can be “Lower than IAEA Class 3 sources,” are both sources which can be most unlikely to trigger everlasting damage to people or comprise a really small quantity of radioactive materials that will not trigger any everlasting damage. A few of these sources, similar to moisture density gauges or thickness gauges which can be Class 4, the quantity of unshielded radioactive materials, if not safely managed or securely protected, might presumably – though it’s unlikely – quickly injure somebody who dealt with it or have been in any other case in touch with it, or who have been near it for a interval of many weeks.
Simply as this radioactive mishap was quietly made public, a string of mysterious drone sightings over New Jersey has raised eyebrows.
John Ferguson, CEO of Saxon Aerospace LLC and an knowledgeable in unmanned aerial methods, has offered a startling idea: the drones could also be looking for the lacking radioactive materials.
Ferguson: My perception is that they’re attempting to scent one thing on the bottom, fuel, leaks, radioactive materials, no matter… I do imagine that they’re flying low sufficient that they’re simply attempting to smell the bottom and attempt to discover one thing. So once more, I hate to be a pessimist or a man that thinks on to the damaging. Nonetheless, I do know as an expert, we construct skilled stuff for the army. I imagine that they’re really on the market attempting to scent one thing that’s crucial.
Nonetheless, Ferguson linked the sightings of drones to a extra stunning declare: the disappearance of over 80 nuclear warheads from Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
In accordance with Ferguson, these weapons have by no means been absolutely accounted for, and at the very least one among them might have been headed towards america.
Ferguson recounted a dialog with a authorities insider who bodily dealt with one of many lacking warheads, solely to see his warnings ignored by U.S. authorities.
Ferguson:
Again within the Eighties, Ronald Reagan had dismantled the nuclear program. With Russia, there have been numerous nuclear missiles that have been disarmed and disposed of. Properly, there have been over 80, I imagine. There have been over 80 nuclear warheads that have been in Ukraine that got here up lacking.
We don’t know the place they’re. Perhaps any individual does, however no person actually is aware of the place these are. I converse with some fairly high-level authorities officers on these things. It appears as if that’s the case.
I spoke to a gentleman just a few months in the past who was attempting to boost an alarm to the best ranges of our authorities, which that they had their ears closed, about this one explicit nuclear warhead that he bodily put his arms on.
He bodily touched this warhead that was left over from Ukraine. And he knew that that factor was headed in direction of america. That could be a very severe deal. And everybody is aware of that america authorities, this administration, is pushing to get right into a battle with Russia. Everyone knows that. All of us really feel it. All of us see it. We’ll again up just a few years…
