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)
This book contain about Technologies that make use of radiation continue to spread around the world: millions of people are employed in radiation related occupations, and hundreds of millions of people benefit from these applications. Use of intense radiation sources for purposes such as sterilization of medical products requires special care in the design and operation of equipment to prevent …
