The US National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) removed a highly radioactive material, cobalt-60, used in cancer treatment, from Guatemala due to security concerns. The operation, part of the US's counterterrorism strategy, aimed to prevent the material from falling into the wrong hands and being used to create a 'dirty bomb'. US and Guatemalan teams worked together to remove and securely transport the material back to the US.
