* Lost Source Accident in NanJing, China Baowei CHEN1)，Qipu ZHOU2) 1) China Institute for Radiation Protection 2) Nuclear and Radiation Safety Center ( Affiliated to Chinese Department of the Environment ) * Contents Source Accident Process Dose Calculation Clinical Manifestation Source Source: Ir-192 Usage: industrical defect detection Activety: about 0.94TBq (25.5Ci) * Process * On 7th, May Four workers had done industrial defect detection work in a workshop of a factory which locates in NanJing, a big city in the southeast of the China. The work had been finished, the detection instruments needed to be collected and taken away from the workshop. * Process 7th May, about 3:00 a.m. When the workers collected the instruments, they found that the remote control cable can’t be unloaded. According to the machine’s design, only when the radiation source locates in the machine, the remote cable can be unloaded. Otherwise, the cable’s unloading is impossible. * So, the radiation source was suspected still had located in the source guide tube, yet. The workers shook the guide tube wanted to find the source, but there wasn’t source in the tube. (Indeed, the source had slid off tube when they had picked the tube up, before they shook it.) Process Guide Tube * Process One worker took a dosimeter to detect the dose near the surface of the machine. The dose rate indication was high, so he thought the source must be located in the machine. (indeed, if there had been a source in the machine, the dose rate near the machine can’t be so high. The machine’s radiation shield is thick enough. The exposure actually came from the radiation source near the machine.) * Process Because the workers believed that the source had located in the machine, they took the machine with the unloaded cable away from the workshop. About at 7:00 a.m. ,7th, May Other employees went i
