LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) — A package sent from Los Alamos National Laboratory contaminated a Pennsylvania lab with a tiny amount of radioactive material, according to a report.
A Los Alamos lab worker sent the package July 20, before realizing that he had been contaminated with americium 241, according to a Los Alamos lab incident report made public Monday by the Project on Government Oversight, a lab watchdog based in Washington, D.C.
Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory spokeswoman Cindy Clark confirmed that the West Mifflin, Pa., Department of Energy lab received the contaminated package.
