Halliburton then immediately contacted the NRC, she said.
Perhaps not, but they had no information at all about it for several months. It could have been in a different condition during that time.Hall said the material was encased in a double-walled stainless steel cylinder, locked in a steel transport container designed to protect workers.
"All of this was found intact, and we have no information that leads us to believe that the public or environment were in danger," Hall said.
