Firefighters scrambled Wednesday to contain a blaze at a
US nuclear waste plant in New Mexico, while underground staff were
evacuated and some taken to hospital, officials said. The
blaze erupted on an underground vehicle carrying salt at the Waste
Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, New Mexico, the US
Department of Energy (DoE) said in a statement. "Emergency
response teams are responding to an operational emergency" at the
plant, which is used to dispose of radioactive waste left from making
nuclear weapons.
