***UPDATE 1229EST 2/21/02***
The following was received by facsimile from State of Florida, Bureau of Radiation Control
"Items were discovered by construction workers in the woods adjacent to new road construction on McCoy Road near SR 528, about 0.25 miles west of SR 15 in SE Orange County. Area is about 2 miles NE of the Orlando International Airport. Items were abandoned along with other items which had been stolen and vandalized. Gauges were undamaged, intact in the transportation boxes with the gauges in the stowed position. Survey readings were normal and sources appeared intact with no removable contamination. Gauges were released to the FBI who will release them to the owners when the crime scene investigation is finished. Numerous news organizations were on the scene and flights were even diverted to different runways at the airport to avoid over flight of the area before investigators were notified and arrived at the scene. No further action will be taken on this incident."
