[ RadSafe ] Maypuri Co-60 news items

[Mark Dowdall]

Hi 

Thanks for that but those sources were my first port of call and subsequently precipitated my attempts to obtain more reliable information in particular as to doses.

The Indian (and other) press is mentioning doses to the deceased of the order of 1.9 Gy to something between 3 and 4 Gy.

The first of these just sound a little too low for the condition the man ended up in?

I therefore wondered had anyone any reliable sources of information as to the possible doses he got ? As in WHO, IAEA, official Indian estimates?
