A piece of medical equipment used for cancer scans was shipped from the Nazha Cancer Center in Newfield on December 2 for disposal.

The missing medical equipment is known as a 'pin source' which contains a small amount of radiation to calibrate the scanner's accuracy.

The danger with losing track of radioactive material is that they can be used to build bombs.

Experts have suggested that malicious actors would likely use more potent materials for such a feat.

The Department of Defense (DOD) said Saturday that the FBI 's tip line has now received 5,000 reports and fewer than 100 have led to leads 'deemed worthy of further investigative activity' 'We don't know if it is malicious or criminal, but I will tell you that it is irresponsible,' a DOD official told Congress .
