The heading is the stuff of Kindergarten. If they had an editor worth his salt he could have realised how unclear this story title is: The truck concealed a nuclear gauge in Livingstone? Oh yeah – and got impounded for it?

@Maria and My take; I wish Zambians were as productively critical as the two of you.

They are too late. More than 15 years ago a European journalist revealed that Zambia was the major route for illegally mined Uranium from DRC to Dar Maputo or Durban. Just by standing next to a truck carrying this mineral ore one can get kidney damage, lung damage and could develop cancers to other organs. Unwitting citizens would stand next to these trucks parked anywhere with their dangerous cargo as they traversed our country. Why has there been a spike in cancer cases in Zambia lately?

About your new heading. A TRUCK CAN NOT CONCEAL. Rather truck used to conceal

Definitely needs to have a trained operator although probably not extremely dangerous

A better heading would have been: Truck impounded for concealing radiation source”. The current heading is too dramatic and can send a bad message to the general public that can create panic. radiation sources are usually used in industry to weld detection and other non destructive testing.
