Officials testing for possible radiation leak at New Mexico military nuclear wastesite
Over the weekend, elevated levels of radioactive particles were measured at an underground nuclear waste site in New Mexico. A spokesman said the incident "looked like the first real alarm since the plant opened in 1999," and officials are testing for radiation in air samples at the site "where radioactive waste, such as plutonium used in defense research and nuclear weapon making, is dumped half a mile below ground in an ancient salt formation."
