2. Chechenya: First time to learn about it. Do you have more information?

3. Thailand: My information is 3.

Iridium 192 , 1.16 TBq (31.5 Ci).

I am trying to summarize the recent fatal radiation accidents (all causes). 

Perhaps some of you can help me. What I have (and please correct any 

erroneous information):

Peru 2000 (radiography source, Ir-192): Was that incident fatal?

Chechenya 1999 (cesium 137??, probably little information available): 3 

fatalities

Tokaimura 1999 (JCO): 2 fatalities.

Thailand 2000 (Co-60 source for radiotherapy): 4 (or 5??) fatalities.

Egypt (this year, source, number of fatalities)?

China 1999-2001??

Panama 2001 (error in dose calculation): 5 or 6 radiation caused fatalities?



Anything that I missed? Is there a way of searching the Radsafers archives 

by keywords?
