Pressurized Drums of Yellowcake Uranium Explode

CNN reported three Canadian workers were exposed to uranium when a pressurized drum of yellowcake exploded last week.

As quoted in the market news:

After three Canadian employees were exposed to yellowcake uranium last month when a lid blew off a pressurized 55-gallon drum, a uranium mining company has informed U.S. nuclear regulatory officials it has found additional drums possibly susceptible to the same problem, CNN has learned.

Canadian-based Uranium One sent a letter Monday to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission after the NRC demanded the company take action after the June 23 incident.
