The Radiological Accident in Cochabamba

---

In April 2002 an accident involving an industrial radiography source containing 197Ir occurred in cochabamba, Bolovia, some 400 km from the capital, La Paz. A faulty radiography source container had been sent back to the head quarters of the company concerned in La Paz together with other equipment as cargo on a passenger bus. This gave rise to a potential for serious exposure for the bus passengers as well as for the company employees who were using and transporting the source. The government of Bolivia requested the assistance of the IAEA under the terms of the Convention on Assistance in the Case of a Nuclear Accident or Radiological Emergency. The IAEA in response assembled and sent to Bolivia a team composed of senior radiation safety experts and radiation pathology experts from Brazil, the United Kingdom and the IAEA to investigate the accident.
