Following up this article..One factory worker found dead
At 8:00 AM 4/22/2012, the chemical complex had second explosion with black smoke.
They managed to extinguish fire at 17:15 of 4/22/2012, when already 15 hours had passed. 11 factory workers got injured except for the dead worker, and 11 citizens got injured by broken glass as well.
The factory is going to have domiciliary visit for professional negligence leading to death of police on 4/23/2012.
Depleted uranium is kept in 33 steel drum cans, where is 400m away from the exploded point. Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology declared depleted uranium did not leak by measuring radiation level, but alpha ray of uranium is very difficult to detect. It is not known how they measured radiation level.
The factory had fire 4 days before as well.
↓ Fire caught 4 days ago.

↓ Point A is where the explosion happened. The place surrounded by the red line is assumed to hold depleted uranium. (The lower one)

Chemical complex had second explosion and radiation measurement is nearly impossible - Peter Lemkin - 23-04-2012
Ah......it is not clear from that article exactly what happened, but 'depleted' Uranium is a very special substance - with some very strange properties. One of them is that it oxidizes rapidly and with a lot of energy [easily started] when in contact with heat or other metals - forming Uranium oxide powder, which floats in the air, gets into water and spreads. It is, despite the name, radioactive - only less so than 'undepleted' Uranium. Looks as if they have a potentially horrible disaster on hand...... While alpha radiation is a little more difficult to measure than the others, this is a dodge, as modern radiation meters measure accurately all three types. You can't convince me they don't have some...especially if they had radioactives on site.
