Radiation Plant Develops Leak
SASKATOON (CP)—A special plant at the University of Sas- katchewan tsed to produce ma- terial for the treatment of can- cer has developed a leak of ra- dioactive materials and has been closed, it was announced here. No_ injuries were reported.
The plant, built in 1931, was operated by the Saskatchewan Cancer Commission to produce radon, a radioactive gas used in the treatment -of cancer. It is located in the éng : building, of the University o | Saskatchev an. . ‘
Dr:. T. A. Watson, director of the Saskatchewan Cancer Com‘ | mission clinic in Saskatoon, said the leak was discovered early in January when air was found mixed with radon. The leak was noticed almost immediately and traced to a crack in a case which held radium
The case was the one installed 31 years ago when the plant was built, he said.
No injuries were reported be- cause of the leak, which Dr Watson said scattered radioac- tive dust through the eight by 10-foot room housing the plant, a laboratory adjoining it and a washroom.
Only one person worked in | the $20,000 plant. The worker, | who was. not identified, was | checked for radiation and found
