Recently, the customs of Shenyang Taoxian Airport, under the jurisdiction of Shenyang Customs, detected a passenger passing through a fixed nuclear radiation monitoring door while monitoring incoming flights, triggering an alarm. After the customs officers conducted a re examination of the interception, they found that the 15 "health stone" necklaces carried by the passenger had excessive nuclear radiation, with a radiation level of 46.85 microsieverts per hour, exceeding the background value at the scene by 468 times.
"After radioactive nuclide analysis, the health stone contains two types of radioactive nuclides, barium 133 and thorium 232. Thorium 232 is listed as a Class 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization," said a person from Shenyang Customs.
