Energy NetAn inquest is to be opened into the deaths of two Manchester University academics who died of pancreatic cancer after working for years in the building where Ernest Rutherford, the father of nuclear physics, conducted his experiments.

These materials include polonium, which killed Alexander Litvinenko, as well as radon and mercury. -
