Additional information on the Turkey incident is found on p65 of Mar 99
Nuclear News.  Summary: a  88 Ci Co-60 source exposed 5 persons to 3-6 Gy, 5
persons to 2-4 Gy, 3 persons to 1-2 Gy, and one person with extremity
injuries who received "something less than 20 Gy."  The source was not
ruptured.
