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 …
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…
