No radioactive leak at Delhi’s IGI Airport

New Delhi: A suspected radioactive leak was reported on Sunday in the cargo area of the Delhi airport from a shipment carrying material for cancer treatment from France, triggering a ‘Radiological Emergency’, which was withdrawn after little over three hours as the emission was found within permissible limits. An emergency response was activated following the suspected leak with teams from Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and National Disaster Response Force rushing to the airport.
