Fernald back to work after anthrax scare
Work resumed Tuesday at the Fernald environmental cleanup project after an office prank Monday forced an evacuation and emergency response to a possible bioterrorism incident.
The FBI continues to investigate in hopes of catching the prankster, said spokesman Gary Stegner.
At least eight federal, state and county agencies scrambled Monday after an employee found a note claiming, falsely, that fungus growing in an unwashed coffee cup was a sample of deadly anthrax.
More than 100 employees were evacuated and the coffee cup was flown via helicopter to Columbus for special testing after it was collected by a team equipped in full protection gear.
No employee has admitted to the prank. The FBI has the note and is checking for fingerprints, Mr. Stegner said.
