SALT LAKE CITY (AP) _ Officials say 45 workers at a Mormon
church vault in Little Cottonwood Canyon near Salt Lake City have
been isolated while crews test a white powder found inside the
building.

Unified Fire Authority Capt. Clint Smith tells The Salt Lake
Tribune two workers were unloading a shrink-wrapped pallet on
Wednesday when they noticed a white powder. One of them touched the
substance.

Both people were isolated. Smith says neither is showing any
symptoms of a reaction to the powder.

The Tribune reported on its Web site that the other 43 workers
are in another part of the building.

Results from testing were expected Wednesday afternoon. Smith
says no other businesses or homes have been affected.
