[ RadSafe ] industrial accident

[Aggie_Barlow]

yes.  This is the one I was referring to.  The men were experiencing
ARS at the 5 hour point and were rushed for medical treatment.
I have not heard any more on their condition.

[in Kuala Lumpur]  Two men are being treated for acute radiation
sickness, as a result of an accident while using a radiography
source. 


Thanks,
