Re: OSHA & Radiation (was: Badges for surgery)
The total amount of Cs-137 in the Goiania accident was 93 grams (including
matrix of source), and the quantity distributed among families was less than
a grain of rice. The Waste generated in Goiania was more than 3,500 cubic
meters in more than 6000 different kind of containers, and the clean up cost
about US$15 Million.
I also think this may have nothing to do with this link, but I felt like
telling this story.
