Barfing road workers exposed to nuclear waste

Vomiting road workers in Australia were hospitalized Wednesday after being exposed to mysterious nuclear material, uncovered during the highway excavation.

The nuclear material uncovered on the highway in New South Wales was cesium, thought to be from the 1980 crash of a truck carrying radioactive isotopes from the Lucas Heights nuclear reactor in Sydney, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The project manager said the workers started getting sick after uncovering an unusual clay-like material.
