[ RadSafe ] Spill

[Mercado, Don]

Good day all,

 

There is a radioactive material spill incident ongoing near Pittsburg,
CA. A courier carrying radiopharmacuticals in a pickup overturned and
spilled the materials onto the road. Emergency responders are on scene
in Tyvec with Geiger counters. I heard it on KCBS. The show host asked
the CHP many questions about the radioactive material, but didn't ask
about the health of the driver. Go figure.
