Fire-Rescue personnel and area medical personnel geared up for mass casualties when an industrial accident at a Baymeadows manufacturing facility Monday morning leaked a small amount of radiation.
The Unison Industries building in the 7500 block of Baymeadows Way was evacuated and police blocked streets in the area after a cylinder of krypton gas exploded in the facility about 10:45 a.m.
Unison spokesman Wayne Moles said he was not aware that any product used in their facility had a high radiation risk.
"That gas primary involves hydrogen, nitrogen,other elements, but has a small amount of krypton 85 in it, and that may have been the source of the readings that the fire department found," Moles said.

You know that it is pretty bad...
...when your town makes it onto a major news feed website. What makes it worse is when the phrase "radiation leak" is involved.
