A massive New Jersey chemical plant fire that posed the threat of evacuations was contained before the flames could reach buildings with the most noxious substances, state officials said Saturday.
The cooling system was restored before the meltdown but the unit had to be shut down due to the elevated cost of the repair. 0: 220 [39] 3 March 1992: Sosnovy Bor, Leningrad Oblast, Russia: An accident at the Sosnovy Bor nuclear plant leaked radioactive iodine into the air through a ruptured fuel channel.
