Dozen homes evacuated in London after "radioactive" waste found near school; later deemed safe.

A dozen homes in Hammersmith, West London, were evacuated after a cleaner found "radioactive" waste in bin bags near a primary school. The cleaner had been clearing a hoarded council house and took the bags to a scrap dealer who flagged them as radioactive. Emergency crews responded, but tests later confirmed the material was safe, and the evacuation was lifted.
