Radioactive Leak Reported In West Palm Beach

Area Reopens Following Scare

POSTED: 4:31 pm EST January 26, 2005

UPDATED: 6:09 pm EST January 26, 2005

A malfunction in a radioactive testing device closed down part of downtown

West Palm Beach Wednesday afternoon.

Sky10 was overhead after the device was reported to have leaked a higher

than acceptable level of radioactivity near the courthouse.

The fire department couldn't get into the area to check out reports of the

leak because of the possibility of radioactive contamination. Hazardous

material crews were sent in to check the area.

The downtown from Quadrille Boulevard east to Olive Avenue and from Gardinia

Street south to Evernia Street was closed and was evacuated for a short

time.

Normal radiation levels are from 12 to 25 rems (the unit used to measure

radioactivity). A Geiger counter at the location of the leak showed a

reading of 95 rems, considered low-grade.

HazMat crews determined that the leak was emitting a lower level of

radiation than originally suspected, and the area was reopened by 5:30 p.m.
