An engineer works on radioactive nuclear

An engineer works on radioactive nuclear fuels at the Laboratory for irradiated fuels study LECA ("laboratoire d'examen des combustibles actifs") at the Cadarache nuclear research centre of the Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) on October 16, 2009 in Saint-Paul-lès-Durance, southeastern France. The Cadarache research centre had declared that eight kilogrammes (nearly 18 pounds) of plutonium were stored in one of its facilities slated for decommissioning, but 22 kilogrammes were found at the location during the operation. French nuclear safety authorities (ASN) classified this incident as a level-2 on the seven-point international nuclear event scale.
