Marni,

the accident occured on July, 24. 1996 at the building site of the gas- and 
steam power plant Gilan. An Ir192-source of an Iranian firm was lost. A 
worker found the source and put it into his shirt-pocket. Ours later he was 
located and transported to a hospital for med. treatment. Other employees 
who stayed in the near of the source-finder were examined too as a 
precaution. The results of the examinations are not in the known of Siemens.
Siemens is concerned within an european consortium. 15 workers of the 
consortium within six, not seven, Siemens employees are examined too. No 
effect of exposure could be find.
The activities, which raises to the accident were not under the 
responsibility of Siemens.
