Boston - truck leaking chemicals, possible radioactive

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/index2.php


A truck leaking chemicals that may be radioactive was stopped in downtown Boston on Tuesday morning. A Boston Police Department team made a routine stop near the Haymarket Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority station shortly before 11 a.m. Officials stopped the truck that was carrying chemicals, and said there may be possible radiation leakage inside the truck. A sticker on the truck reads "radioactive material." The Boston Fire Department said very low levels of radiation, which do not require protective gear, have been detected inside the vehicle. The MBTA said trains are running, but not stopping at Haymarket, and there is no access to the T station. There have been no injuries reported.
