Friday, April 9, 2010
Scientists from the Bhaba Atomic Research Centre (BARC) and Narora Atomic Power Station also scanned Mayapuri Industrial area this morning to examine whether there was any other source of a similar emission in the vicinity.
Panic was triggered in the locality last night after the news of a radiation leak broke out with five persons falling ill after coming in contact with a “mysterious shining object” in a scrap shop.
According to reports, the affected people suffered burn injuries and fell unconscious after coming in touch with the material.
They have been admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Trauma Centre.
Delhi Police has sealed the area that this radiation will not effect more people.
