В подземно хранилище за ядрени отпадъци в щата Ню Мексико е избухнал пожар, съобщи Би Би Си.
По данни на американското министерство на енергетиката, тази сутрин на територията на комплекса се е запалили камион, превозващ сол.
В официално съобщение на министерството се посочва ,че всички служители са евакуирани, няма опасност от радиоактивно заразяване.
Няколко работници са приети в болница, тъй като са погълнали дим.

на 06.02.2014 в 00:05:37 #1Ето за какво иде реч: CARLSBAD, N.M. (AP) — Emergency crews battled a fire Wednesday at the southeastern New Mexico site where the federal government seals away its low-grade nuclear waste, including plutonium-contaminated clothing and tools. Several people were taken to the hospital after a truck hauling salt caught fire about 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, N.M. All employees have been evacuated and none of the radioactive waste has been impacted, plant officials said. Authorities still aren't sure what caused the blaze. Melissa Suggs, a spokeswoman for the Carlsbad Medical Center, said six patients were brought to the hospital from the plant to be treated for smoke inhalation. "They are all listed in stable condition," she said. Emergency officials say all waste handling operations were suspended and rescue teams were activated. The Carlsbad Current-Argus reports (http://goo.gl/4IFvHE) that officials said at a press conference the fire occurred on a salt haulage truck in the north mine and "fire suppression systems" immediately activated underground. Nuclear waste is stored in the south mine, officials said. The repository takes plutonium-contaminated waste from Los Alamos National Laboratory and defense projects. The waste is then buried in rooms cut from underground salt beds. Rod McCullum, the director of used-fuels programs at the Nuclear Energy Institute, said WIPP is the nation's only deep geological nuclear repository and its license gets renewed by the federal Environmental Protection Agency every five years. The plant has strong support from local leaders, he said. Nevada's Yucca Mountain, a remote desert location, is another site built for a potential repository for used nuclear fuel but it is not operational, McCullum said. WIPP currently receives 17 to 19 shipments each week from sites around the country. The sites include Los Alamos and installations in Idaho, Illinois and South Carolina. WIPP can't accept non-defense nuclear waste unless Congress changes the law defining its mission. Това да бяхте превели, а не общите приказки на ВВС
