Dear RADSAFERs,
My earlier posting was apparently in error. There were 91 accidents
involving Type B containers between 1971 and 1996, and one did involve
a release. This was a case in which container holding a radiography
camera fell off a truck and was run over by a rental car, releasing
the source material. The accident was not included in the table I
cited. Sorry for the confusion.
