Inside the AP report:

"The blast happened in a smelter at the plant... Rosenergoatom said that
the smelter was on the grounds of the plant's second unit, and plant
spokesman Sergei Averyanov said it was about half a mile from the
reactor."

Another posting (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,178896,00.html) of
the AP report included the agency's claim that the second unit was shut
down for major repairs in July.

Now if a toilet at the smelter had backed up, the AP article could have
included "area highly contaminated" in its sensationalist headline.
