On 24 July 1996 a serious accident occured at the Gilan combined cycle fossil fuel power plant in the Islamic Republic of Iran, when a worker who was moving thermal insulation materials around the plant noticed a shiny, pencil sized metal object lying in a trench and put it in his pocket. He was unaware that the metal object was an unshielded 185 GBq 192Ir source used for industrial radiography…
On 21 October 1994, three brothers entered the radioactive waste repository at Tammiku, Estonia, without authorization and removed a metal container enclosing a radiation source. This action initiated the sequence of events in a radiological accident. The accident resulted in the death of one person and injury to a number of others. The death was not originally attributed to radiation exposure…

A serious radiological accident occurred in Peru in February 1999 when a welder picked up an 192Ir industrial radiography source and put it in his pocket for several hours. This resulted in his receiving a high radiation dose that necessitated the amputation of one leg. His wife and children were also exposed, but to a much lesser extent. (Jml)
