Over-exposure of one worker during the industrial radiography activities |
On 24 July 1996 an Ir-142 radioactive source used for industrial radiography and weld test was lost in the site of Gilan Combined Cycle Power Plant. Two hours later it was found by the safety authorities of the site and placed in its shield immediately. During the said time period a worker who had not observed safety measures, was exposed to a dose, exceeding annual dose limit (INES Level 2). He is now under full health care. The site safety authorities and the inspectors of AEOI took all necessary safety measures.
