- Reason
- Image is of very high quality (nearly 3,000x3,000 pixels) and conveys in clear, "encyclopedic" terms, the object it depicts (a radiation capsule). The drawing is very precise in technical terms, and the subject is very important for understanding the pivotal piece of machinery involved in the Goiânia nuclear accident of 1987.

If I have time, I might even do the SVG conversion myself (but I will most likely only become free in the summer)! dllu (t,c) 22:09, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
