✦ Synopsis

Faulty seal exposes workers to radiation

A broken seal released radioactive dust particles in a nuclear research centre in Eastern Idaho, USA, according to off&Is, exposing nine workers to radiation. Argonne National Laboratory says the radiation was comparable to the exposure to cosmic rays during a plane flight. The lab is located at the Idaho Nationa Engineering and Environmental Laboratory.
