Leak at German nuclear plant, man hospitalised: firm
Berlin (AFP) Jan 22, 2010 A leak in a uranium enrichment plant in Germany exposed an employee to a high level of radiation but posed no danger to people outside the facility, the firm operating the plant said on Friday. The employee was taken to hospital as a precaution, a spokeswoman for the German subsidiary of British nuclear firm Urenco said. None of the radiation escaped, the company added. "There is no danger to the public. The necessary authorities were informed straightaway," Urenco said in a statement. Joachim Neuser, a spokesman for the local government in North Rhine-Westphalia where the accident occurred, said authorities were studying a report into the incident and would draw the appropriate conclusions. The plant, near Germany's border with the Netherlands, has been in operation since 1985, according to the Urenco website.
