A cargo plane sparked a radiation alert at Auckland Airport last night.
A 200m cordon was placed around the Singapore Airlines Boeing 747 freighter after radiation was detected on the aircraft.
The Fire Service was called to the international terminal just before 8pm. Three fire engines, including a hazmat unit with a radiation detection device and a technical liaison officer, attended the callout.
By 9.30pm, most of the fire trucks had left the airport.
No passengers were on board the aircraft and its crew were all safe and uninjured.
