US officials say no indication of leak at Washington nuclear plant

There is no indication so far that any radioactive material has leaked from a tunnel that collapsed at a nuclear facility in the US state of Washington, federal officials say.

“There is no indication of a release of contamination at this point,” a statement by the US Department of Energy says. “Responders are getting closer to the area where the soil has subsided for further visual inspection.”
