Radio-active disposable nappy found at waste disposal facility near St-Malo

It's way down the bottom of the board list where few posters venture without protective clothing and fly spray — that's why there's limited response...

But it wasn't always that way, it was at the top once! A radioactive nappy found at a waste tip is ideal subject matter for speculation!

Very suspicious conspiracy of silence on this one, considering this is a forum full of people prone to having an opinion on anything and everything!!

However, two days later, the transmitters were still capturing a radioactive source. Firefighters, dressed in special suits, then intervened to empty the truck and look for the origin of the phenomenon. A meticulous work to which the specialized teams of the Sdis are trained. Firefighters eventually located the source: "It wasn't very big and was about two-thirds of the dumpster. But we still had to empty the truck completely because we didn't know if it was in airtight packaging or not," says Commander Bourdais. Finally, two plastic bags, as well as another, which was next to and torn and containing adult diapers, were set aside.
