Radiation Detected After Industrial Accident Prompts Evacuations

WJXT-TV
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Fire-Rescue personnel said that an explosion this morning in 7500 bock of Baymeadows Way that has 
resulted in the release of radiation inside a building. The Unison Industries building was evacuated and police have 
blocked streets in the area. 

Members of the hazardous material team report picking up radiation with their Geiger counters. There's no word on 
whether anyone was exposed. 

Unison's director of communications said a gas cylinder exploded in the facility about 10:45 a.m., but said no 
radioactive material was released. 

Channel 4 learned that the explosion hurt one person and transported to St. Luke's Hospital, but there was no 
information about the extent of that person's injuries.
