Laundry is evacuated – suspected radioactive object found in dirty laundry

“Some kind of radioactive object must have accidentally accompanied a transport from the infirmary to the laundry,” says Joakim Hallin on the rescue service to Alingsås Newspaper.

Employees who may have come into contact with the item will be investigated.

— Healthcare is in place and we also need to establish contact with expertise that can help us moving forward. We are defensive like this at the beginning until we know more, says Joakim Hallin.
