Thirteen Workers Exposed to Radiation at New Mexico Waste Dump - NBC News.com
The deep underground waste dump has been shut down since the leak occurred.
The source of the leak has not yet been determined, but the DOE said a plan was in place to go back underground into the waste facility and systematically take readings and observations to determine what specifically happened on Feb. 14.
“Once the source of the contamination is found, we’ll lay out a plan on how to mitigate it,” Franco said.
Higher radiation levels have been detected in the air near the plant, but officials say the readings are not high enough to be considered a public health threat.

U.S. Senate candidate Jim Oberweis got 11 speeding tickets - chicagotribune.com
By Katherine Skiba and Kim Geiger, Tribune reporters
U.S. Senate candidate Jim Oberweis, who cites his successful push to raise Illinois' speed limit as the top accomplishment of his first year as a state lawmaker, has been ticketed for speeding 11 times since 1988, according to public records.
Two of the speeding tickets — both for driving at least 20 miles over the limit in a 40 mph zone — were issued in 2012, the year he won a seat in the Illinois Senate.
Also in 2012, he was cited for running a red light in North Aurora and for disobeying a stop sign in Aurora. But the stop sign citation was amended to a violation involving his auto's "signal lamps and signal devices."
