ACCIDENT#1
February 1, 2000 – The radiation source of a teletherapy unit was stolen from a parking lot in Samut Prakarn, Thailand and dismantled in a junkyard for scrap metal. Workers completely removed the 60Co source from the lead shielding, and became ill shortly thereafter. The radioactive nature of the metal and the resulting contamination was not discovered until 18 days later. Eight injuries and two deaths were a result of this incident.
Teletherapy - Radiation treatment administered by using a source that is at a distance from the body, usually employing gamma-ray beams from radioisotope sources.

ACCIDENT#2
December 2000 – Three woodcutters in the nation of Georgia spent the night beside several "warm" canisters they found deep in the woods and were subsequently hospitalized with severe radiation burns. The canisters were found to contain concentrated 90Sr. The disposal team consisted of 25 men who were restricted to 40 seconds' worth of exposure each while transferring the canisters to lead-lined drums. The canisters are believed to have been intended for use as generators for remote lighthouses and navigational beacons, part of a Soviet plan dating back to 1983.

ACCIDENT #3
March 11, 2006 – at Fleurus, Belgium, an operator working for the company Sterigenics, at a medical equipment sterilization site, entered the irradiation room and remained there for 20 seconds. The room contained a source of 60Co which was not in the pool of water. Three weeks later, the worker suffered of symptoms typical of an irradiation (vomit, loss of hair, fatigue). One estimate that he was exposed to a dose of between 4.4 and 4.8 Gy due to a malfunction of the control-command hydraulic system maintaining the radioactive source in the pool. The operator spent over one month in a specialized hospital before going back home. Today he still shows after-effects (fatigue) that should attenuate in several months. To protect workers, the federal nuclear control agency AFCN and private auditors from AVN recommended Sterigenics to install a redundant system of security. It is an accident of level 4 on the INES scale.

Recent Accident
Alexander Litvinenko, Russian KGB
Litvinenko died on 23 November, and on 24 November his death was linked to a "major dose" of radioactive polonium-210. Polonium-210 is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 138 days and is a fairly volatile metal; the ingested maximum permissible body burden is 0.03 microcuries, or about 7 nanograms. Reportedly Litvinenko's symptoms and time from exposure to death are consistent with the ingestion of about 5 microcuries of polonium-210 (about 1 microgram, equivalent to a sphere 0.6 millimeters in diameter).

BIOLOGICAL EFFECT OF RADIATION
![Page 20: BASIC TYPE of RADIATIONs - 123seminarsonly.com](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020700/61f4c82c1d7c5264e446ae33/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CharacteristicsOne characteristic of ionizing radiation on human body is that the energy absorbed is low but the biological effects are serious. For example after receiving a lethal dose of 10 Gy (for xray=10 Sv), the body temperature will only
increase by 0.02 oC but the dose may lead to death of all the exposed entities.The second characteristic is the latent biological effects of radiation. Acute biological effects can occur within several hours to several days while the long term effects usually appear several years after the exposure.

Why do we need them?
● Radiation threats are unique in that you can't see, smell, taste, hear or feel them, until it's already done its damage and you are suffering the effects.

CONTROLLING THE EXPOSURE

TIME
● Determine the dose rate using Survey Meter
● Calculate the allowable time
Equivalent Dose=Dose Rate×Time
Time=Equivalent DoseDose Rate
![Page 41: BASIC TYPE of RADIATIONs - 123seminarsonly.com](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020700/61f4c82c1d7c5264e446ae33/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Case Study
In a day, you are allowed to receive 4Sv. Thus, if you have to be in a region with the dose rate of 100 Sv/hour, then you can only spend a maximum of:
T=Permitted DoseDose Rate
=4Sv
100Sv hr−1=0.04 hr=2.4 minutes
![Page 42: BASIC TYPE of RADIATIONs - 123seminarsonly.com](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020700/61f4c82c1d7c5264e446ae33/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
CONTROLLING BY DISTANCE
● Inverse Square Law– The dose is inversely proportional to the
square of the distance from the radiation source,
– Example● If the dose rate at 1 meter from the source is 100
microSievert/hr, than the dose at 10 meter from the source is 1 microSievert/hr

SHIELDING
● Rule of thumb: Hiding behind something is better than directly exposed yourself to radiation.
● What is the best material?● How thick the material should be?

What is the best material?
● Dense material:– plumbum (most common)
● Other common material:– Concrete– Steel Plate
