Simulation of a radiological accident involving a radioisotope thermoelectric generator

Applied Radiation and Isotopes
Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) are devices that convert heat from radioactive decay into electrical energy and are used in remote locations due to their low maintenance requirements. Various types of RTGs were produced with sources containing large amounts of Strontium-90, which require multiple layers of shielding materials.

The Radiological Accident in Goiania

Health Physics, 1991
The removal of a 50.9-TBq 137Cs source from a radiation therapy facility in Goiânia gave rise to a radiological accident in September 1987 whose proportions were aggravated by the 16-d interval from the beginning of a series of acts that resulted in the contamination of people and areas, to the moment of identification and seeking of aid. Data gathered

Responsibility for Accidents in Radiological Departments

The British Journal of Radiology, 1946
The subject I have chosen for this address is one which is of importance to every radiologist. Yet it is a subject which has not, so far as I know, been considered before in this Section. It is true that the incidence of accidents in X-ray work in this country is very low; so low indeed as to reflect great credit on the organisation of our departments.

Emergency response to radiological and nuclear accidents and incidents

British Journal of Haematology, 2019
SummaryBone marrow damage is an important consequence of exposure to acute high‐dose whole‐body radiation. As such, haematologists can play an important role in managing this complication. However, these accident and incident scenarios are complex and often involve injuries to other organs and tissues from heat, projectiles and chemicals.

Simulating Radiological Accidents through Software Agents

2006 International Conference on Computational Inteligence for Modelling Control and Automation and International Conference on Intelligent Agents Web Technologies and International Commerce (CIMCA'06), 2006
Radiological accidents can result in significant radiation exposures of workers and of the public. These accidents usually occur as a consequence of human activities in military, industry, medicine, agriculture and research, involving the use of radiation and radioactive substances that cause radiation exposure in addition to the natural exposure.

The radiological consequences of the Chernobyl accident

Environmental Reviews, 1997
The human health consequences of the Chernobyl accident in 1986 have been the subject of a great many studies. Many of the findings and opinions were brought together at a major international conference held in Minsk in 1996. The overall findings from this workshop are discussed with particular focus on thyroid cancers and exposures to iodine-131.
