Incident Reports

A survey in a radio chemistry laboratory has identified an area of spillage in front of a fume hood.

A barrier was placed around the laboratory to restrict access while the area was cleaned. Analysis of the spillage has indicated that it was at a reportable level and therefore it has been recorded as a Sellafield incident and an investigation is going into the cause.

There is no evidence of dose to personnel as a result of this event, which is below the International Nuclear Event Scale.
