NUCLEAR LEAK DEATH AT HARTLEPOOL
One man has died and three more are in hospital after a major emergency unfolded at Hartlepool Nuclear Power Station when a pipe burst in Reactor One this morning, sending a cloud of Carbon Dioxide into the air.
The leak, first reported just after 9am, spread fast - heading east towards the North Sea and southwest across town.
A 2km exclusion zone was put in place. Businesses inside were told to seal windows, stay indoors, and take iodine tablets immediately. Officials insist anyone outside the 2km zone is safe.
