Government today said the emission from a medical shipment at cargo terminal of IGI Airport in Delhi was within permissible limit and did not fall in the category of radioactive leakage.
Officers from Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and NDRF have cleared that there is no anticipation of any harm because there is no radioactive leakage. They said the emission is within permissible limits.
No beta radiation was found in the surrounding areas and hence the Radiological Emergency was called off.
The leakage was reported at about 10 30 in the morning from the container at the cargo terminal. The consignment of 16 packets of material for cancer treatment arrived by an Air France flight last night.
