Jihlava, South Moravia, Sept 23 (CTK) - A US commissioner from the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) emerged unharmed after falling into a water tank at the Dukovany nuclear power plant on Friday.

The daily Mlada fronta Dnes reported Friday that commissioners training at the facility were moving around the plant in a group. One of them, however, left the group and fell into the tank. The water in the tank was not radioactive.

A spokesman for the plant told MfD that the commissioner admitted he had made a mistake. “The rules say that no one is allowed to leave the group,” the spokesman said.

It's not like these guys can find anything radioactive, even if they are inside a reactor building.

I'm surprised the guy can walk and talk at the same time - maybe that's how he got separated and fell in.

He was probably a CIA agent looking for state secrets or hidden terrorists.

And these are the people who are supposed to prevent nuclear proliferation, right?

Yeah I thought it was about that Swedish furniture store at first.

Besides forgetting his Do Not Wander Off training the unlucky guy was probably absent on the day they taught Not Tipping Over Into Vats of Liquid While Walking Upright 101

More evidence that they only hire clowns and circus people to work for the IAEA.
