Mining company Rio Tinto will provide a mobile worker camp to help rebuild flood-damaged Fitzroy Crossing, in lieu of payment for the cost of the massive search for a missing radioactive capsule.
The tiny capsule, used at a Rio mine site in the Pilbara, went missing some time between January 11 and January 16 as it was being transported to Perth, sparking an urgent public health warning and a desperate search over 1,400 kilometres of mostly remote outback highway.
