Radioactivity Found In U.K. Hotel Workers

LONDON -- Seven British hotel workers have tested positive for the same kind of radiation blamed in the death of a former Russian spy.

Health officials said they've ruled out any short-term risks, but low-level traces of polonium-210 have been found on employees at London's Millennium Hotel.

Alexander Litvinenko met a contact at the hotel on the day he fell ill. The former KGB agent was investigating the killing of a prominent Russian journalist and Kremlin critic before his death.
