Early in 2001, serious accidental exposures involving patiens undergoing radiotherapeutic procedures were discovered in Panama. The government of Panama requested assistance from the IAEA under the terms of the Convention on Assistance in the Case of a Nuclear Accident or Radiological Emergency. The IAEA immediately notified the World Health Organization (WHO) and assembled and sent to Panama a…

A serious radiological accident occured in Samut Prakarn, Thailand, in late January and early February 2000 when a disused 60Co teletherapy head was partially dismantled, taken from an unsecured storage location and sold as scrap metal. Individuals who took the housing apart and later transported the device to a junkyard were exposed to radiation from the source. At the junkyard the device was …
