is this original article?

i grabbed a sentence and did a search of that sequence of words, which gave me the bbc link...of which I will now take a gander at.

The incident happened on the same day a blaze broke out on a ship transporting radioactive waste from Dounreay to Belgium.

The blaze started in one of the MV Parida's two funnels on the night of 7 October.

It lost power and started drifting towards an oil platform in the Moray Firth. Fifty-two people on the rig were evacuated as a precaution.

Following repairs the ship was able to resume its journey.

'Extremely concerning'
WWF Scotland has raised concerns about the release of radioactivity during the fire at Dounreay

Director Lang Banks said: "Thankfully no-one was injured in this incident. However, that the fire resulted in the release of radioactive material is deeply worrying and calls into question the processes currently in place to protect people and the environment.

i'll have to reserve an opinion for now.
