It appears that 13 employees might have positive bioassay results:
...the WIPP contractor, notified 13 employees of positive preliminary bioassay results. 
The results are based on samples taken as a precautionary measure from employees present 
during the February 14, 2014 radiological event.

From WIPP's press release yesterday:
http://j.mp/1c5cQAR

CARLSBAD, N.M., February 24, 2014
-
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today reported new environmental monitoring data from samples collected at numerous locations on and around the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). Results indicate slightly elevated levels of airborne radioactive concentrations, which are consistent with the waste disposed of at WIPP. The samples taken demonstrate these concentrations remain well below a level of public or environmental hazard.
The samples were collected by WIPP radiological and environmental monitoring personnel February 17-18 and sent to site laboratories for additional analyses.

Hmmm, might be real.

From WIPP's most recent news release:
http://j.mp/1c5cQAR

Recent laboratory analyses by Carlsbad Environmental Monitoring and 
Research Center (CEMRC) found some trace amounts of a mericium and 
plutonium from a sampling station located on the WIPP access road. This 
is consistent with the fact that HEPA filters remove at least 99.97% of 
contaminants from the air, meaning a minute amount still can pass 
through the filters. As noted by the CEMRC , an independent 
environmental monitoring organization, the levels found from the sample 
are below the levels established by the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure public health is protected.
