Radiation accidents and abnormal occurrences in industrial radiography in Finland during the period of 1985-1990; Saeteilyvahingot ja poikkeukselliset tapahtumat teollisuuden radiografiassa Suomessa vuosina 1985-1990

Abstract

It is generally agreed that industrial radiography is the most dangerous practice out of the commonly employed radiation sources in industry, medicine, research and training. The literature shows that especially radiography with radioisotope sources has caused many accidents leading to serious consequences to radiographers and other persons. This report covers the abnormal occurrences in Finland in connection with the industrial radiography during the period of 1985 - 1990. Because of the relatively small accounts of gammaradiography devices in Finland, most of the events are involved to x-ray radiography. The doses in all of the cases are trivial but the causes leading to the events and precautions in order to reduce the risk of the accidents are worth to be discussed.
