Authorities sealed off a nuclear plant in southeastern Sweden after a welder arrived for work with a plastic bag containing traces of an explosive substance, police and plant officials said.
Investigators were questioning the man, who was scheduled to do work at the Oskarshamn plant on Wednesday, police spokesman Sven-Erik Karlsson said.

IMO, if you are too error, error on the side of caution.
Of course security at a nuclear plant or anywhere else for that matter should err on the side of caution.
But it'd be nice to see a news outlet also err on the side of reality. Headline WITH EXPLOSIVES is a far different thing than trace ampunts, as someone mentioned the overwhelming majority of US bills contain traces of cocaine. Would it be responsible journalism to headline "MOST AMERICANS GO TO WORK WITH COCAINE" and then mention trace amounts on bills down below?
