UKAEA fined for workers breathing in plutonium

The UKAEA at Dounreay have been fined £15,000 because workers breathed in a very small amount of plutonium when opening contaminated lead bricks in plastic bags.

The workers weren't using the correct protective suits and there were no notices on the plastic bags to let them know what the content was.
