A Michigan-bound shipment of radioactive material, sent by an Ohio company weeks ago, never reached its destination, according to the nation’s nuclear regulator.

A July 29 filing by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) indicates that a shipment containing a source of Iridium-192, a “Category 2” level of radioactive substance, was dispatched from Ohio-based Prime NDT Services, Inc. via an unnamed carrier, on July 12.
