Several weeks ago there were some postings on RADSAFE about an incident
involving a cobalt source in a salvage yard and resultant sickness and
injuries.  Does anyone have any further details on what the outcome was.
Fatalities?  Recovery?  I plan to use this in source control training as an
example of what can happen when sources are not properly controlled.

Thanks
