<p>The team has visited Mayapuri following reports that radiation exposure was still high in the area.<br /><br />"The team began the decontamination process Sunday afternoon," said a spokesperson of the environment organisation Greenpeace. <br /><br />The experts held a meeting late Saturday with the scrap dealers of Mayapuri where the first radiation leak was reported last month. One person died due to radiation exposure. <br />Greenpeace in its investigation Friday found that Mayapuri was "not a safe zone for human beings". <br /><br />"The investigation has identified hotspots with more than 5,000 times natural background radiation," an official said. <br /><br />The Greenpeace team observed that it was a matter of concern that the identified six hotspots remained despite AERB having declared the area safe. <br /><br />Police said the source of the leak last month was a radioactive Gamma Cell containing Cobalt-60, auctioned as scrap by Delhi University's chemistry department over two months ago. <br /><br />Six people exposed to the radioactive Cobalt-60 are still undergoing anti-radiation treatment in a hospital.</p>
