Workers exposed to plutonium at Los Alamos
`Five workers at New Mexico’s Los Alamos National Laboratory are being monitored after an accident resulted in plutonium being found inside their noses.
Details of the accident inside building TA-55 Monday are sketchy, but lab official Kevin Roark verified automated sensors picked up the plutonium release, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday.
Four other workers in the room weren’t contaminated and no contaminants escaped into the environment, Roark told the Chronicle.’
Gotta watch what you snort, obviously.
