After Barc fire, fear of radiation [1]

The major fire that broke out at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre at Trombay on Tuesday afternoon has sparked off fears of a radioactive gas leak, even though Barc has stressed that the explosion happened more than a kilometre away from the two nuclear reactors that are there in the campus.

Access to the reactors is restricted to only a few people.
