Three people have been treated after a chemical spill at Sydney’s Lucas Heights nuclear facility.
According to a spokesman for Australia's Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, the workers were exposed to sodium hydroxide when a cap came off a pipe in the nuclear medicine manufacturing building.
NSW Ambulance said the chemical splashed onto the arms and faces of the victims who have all been taken to Sutherland Hospital for further assessment.
An independent review conducted in October 2018 found the facility failed modern nuclear safety standards and should be replaced.
