Swedish nuclear plant posted cleaners as guards
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority says the incident at the Oskarshamn plant was serious and the workers had no training as security guards.
Plant spokesman Anders Osterberg says 20-25 cleaning and maintenance staff were deployed for a week around the plant's perimeter this month in areas where a new alarm system's motion sensors had malfunctioned.
The Oskarshamn plant, 210 miles (340 kilometers) south of Stockholm, has three reactors and provides around 10 percent of Sweden's electricity.

Physicists Just Achieved Conduction of Electricity at Close to The Speed of Light
LONDON - When it comes to data transfer and computing, the faster we can shift electrons and conduct electricity the better – and scientists have just been able to transport electrons at sub-femtosecond speeds (less than one quadrillionth of a second) in an experimental setup.
The trick is manipulating the electrons with light waves that are specially crafted and produced by an ultrafast laser. It might be a long while before this sort of setup makes it into your laptop, but the fact they pulled it off promises a significant step forward in terms of what we can expect from our…
