The 8 mm capsule can cause radiation burns and sickness, officials warned as they urge anyone who might find the device to avoid it and call the proper authorities.
"The equipment can detect radiation emitted by the missing capsule and is currently being used around the Perth metropolitan area and outskirts." Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
The Western Australia Department of Fire and Emergency Services (WADFES) announced a radiation alert for large parts of the state, which remains in effect while the search continues.
