URANIUM COMPOUND LEAKS AT S.C. PLANT

A uranium compound leaked for 10 minutes Wednesday at a nuclear fuel plant after a valve failed. There was no apparent danger to the public, federal officials said.

Fifty-five workers at the Westinghouse Commercial Nuclear Fuel Division Plant were evacuated, but none inhaled the uranium compound and none appeared to be ill, company and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said.
