Dozens May Have Been Exposed To Radiation In Idaho

A serious radiation scare for more than a dozen workers at Idaho National Lab, the Associated Press reported. Seventeen people are undergoing full-body scans and other treatments after they were potentially exposed to low-level plutonium radiation. The employees were cleaning inside a reactor Tuesday afternoon when a container holding plutonium was opened. Exposure can damage organs and be deadly in certain amounts. Investigators are at the site trying to determine what went wrong.
