On 17 June 1997 a physicist working as a senior technician at the nuclear Centre, Sarov, in the Russian Federation, was severely exposed as a result of a critically accident with an assembly of high enriched uranium. The exposure, which caused a high neutron radiation dose, led to death within three days despite prompt medical attention. The Russian authorities requested urgent assistance from…

Radiotherapy is well established as an indispensable means of treatment in national cancer control programmes in both developing and developed countries. In radiotherapy, radiation is used directly to destroy malignant tissue. The success of radiotherapy therefore depends on achieving a radiation dose that is high enough to kill malignant tissue yet sufficiently low to preserve to healthy tissu…
