I would appreciate it if anyone could provide information on an accident 
that occurred at a power station in Iran's northern Gilan province on or 
about August 1 \96.

The Associated Press release read;

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - About 50 people were exposed to severe radiation in an 
accident at a power station in Iran's northern Gilan province, the Hamshahri 
daily reported yesterday.
The newspaper said the injured included seven engineers employed by Seimens, 
the German industrial giant. It did not give their nationalities.
In Germany, a Seimens spokesperson confirmed an accident occurred Monday 
night at a gas and steam  turbine  power station in Gilan, where six German 
technicians work.
