The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is searching for a nuclear gauge that apparently fell off a truck on Interstate 81 near the Pennsylvania/West Virginia line.
The device is yellow and about the size of a shoe box.
DEP officials said the device, which was lost on May 3, contains a small amount of radioactive material. If tampered with, the device could release radiation.
The device is used to measure the density of soil or concrete.
Anyone who finds it should call the Nuclear Regulatory Commission at 301-816-5100.
