Working in industrial radiography for ten years, Cobalt sources are some times used to Xray very thick welds or castings. Only seen them used a couple of times and they are extremely dangerous to human health if not handled correctly. Unknowingly being exposed to gamma rays at this energy level is a nightmare scenario. Hard to think of a worse type of industrial accident than this one.

If it is expensive for siemens it will be incorporated in the price of the machine and passed on to the hospital. Either way the hospital pays for the disposal, but at least if siemens is legally obligated the loop of responsibility is closed. And if the hospital can't afford to pay for the disposal they shouldn't have the machine in the first place.

The problem with this is that these machines were sold internationally as medical equipment, and there are agreements for the sale of such items. Trade agreements are different for nuclear waste material. There are many cases of the same materials recieving differing trade classification. Think of Airbags. They are traded as car parts around the world. If you disassemble them, they become classified as explosives. The spend unit was no longer medical equipment at the end of it's lifecycle. Germany would probably have refused the import of nuclear waste material into it's borders, as such transports are heavily regulated and opposed by the german population (Just read up on how many people love to chain themselves to train tracks whenever nuclear waste material is transported) so I doubt it would even be in the hands of the company to take it back. No one opposed to shipping medical equipment however. This might not be the main issue (which probably, as always, is money) but I'd recon it's one of the most important secondary issues. International relations are difficult.

Agree. 5 grays or more usually leads to death, though you can die from less (in the Mayapuri incident, the victim died from 3.1 Gy) and there have been people who have (rarely) survived more (Devair Ferreira survived an estimated 7 Gy from the Goiânia incident!). It doesn't help that there has been so many units and methods for measuring radiation exposure.. "3.6 roentgen. Not great, not terrible." I was trying to find what level the IAEA classified this incident but came up empty. However, given the scale and comparing to similar incidents, I would assume that this would be given a level 4 since the damage was localized.

It's only real danger are gamma rays and the only thing that protects from gamma rays is mass, and a lot of it. That said, a lead apron would have been better than nothing.

simple rule for dose: microsiverts = meh, quite safe single miliseverts = time to slow down tens of miliseverts = not so good if civilian, still acceptable word rad worker hundreds of milisieverts = very survivable, but not good. increased risk of cancer. High hundreds will probably cause ARP. Heads WILL roll for this. low single sieverts = you will see ARP, quite bad. Starting to approach lethal dose 4 Sievert = lethal dose. Statistically 50% chance of survival with advanced medical care. Permanent injuries and very high risk of cancer if you survive. >4 Sv = you are fighting the odds. May luck be on your side. note that this only applies of single exposure. If it's drawn out for a longer period, the body has the time to repair the damage, so the consequences are not as bad. note 2 - the dose from a medical X-ray has dramatically come down over the years, especially with modern semiconductor imagers. The difference between a ye-oldy machine using just film directly and a state of the art new one can easily be an order of magnitude.

Is 15 Tbq a lot? Is it anything like 4 Gy? How bad are 200 curies? A lot of science video watchers like to lose their shit over football fields or school busses (never mind the imperial system) as a unit of measure. In my opinion, they need to visit a park once in their life. But all of these radiation numbers are thrown around as if they mean something to the general public. I.e., people who probably _have seen_ a football field (either kind), or a bus of any description, but may have been lucky enough to only be exposed to mSv elsewhere on the yootoobs.

@@jimstanley_49 you... Can't just put a = between units that measure entirely different things. A Courie and Bequerel say the same thing - how many decays. One Bq=one decay (as in one atom). On the other hand, a Curie is based on a gram of Radium, so it's a stupidly high number of decays. Without knowing a bunch of other parameters, you can not calculate things like dose rate or dose, it just tells you how many decays are available. A Gray is a dose unit, but for electromagnetic radiation only, it completely ignores particles and has no corrections, it's outdated, which is why the Sievert exists. RADs and REM are a clusterfuck on their own level, again used only because somebody is reluctant to change. If I can kick myself to doing it, I might add some examples so one can get a general ok/not so ok/omg run for your life view on those units.

@@AKAtheA "you... Can't just put a = between units that measure entirely different things." Highlighting my dissatisfaction with the video. Units are thrown around without context, and even watchers like myself, with a passing knowledge of Sieverts, can only intuit that [rems, rads, roentgen, curries, grays, becquerels] = radiation number. Given the nature of the video, the radiation numbers are bad, I guess; though in this part the radiation number was "only" this big and the patient survived, so I guess it wasn't that bad. I know they _probably_ measure different physical properties and can't be readily converted or compared. Still, without a lot of homework on the viewer's part, they're meaningless buzzwords dropped in the video to sound good or in the interest of "completeness" and do not actually convey useful information to the audience. A simple, unobtrusive danger scale like [- eat one banana - chest x-ray - yearly background dose - probably cancer - definitely cancer - slow, painful recovery - slow, painful death - quick, painful death - quick, painless death ] would be great to give some intuition about what a given radiation number means. Or a note that 15TBq -could -_-administer-_- 500k chest x-rays (or whatever, I guess it's a measure of how much radiation is available from the source before it "wears out"?- It seems irrelevant to the video, which is already understood to involve dangerously radioactive material.) After some Wikipedia skimming, I see it's a measure of how potent an emitter something is. Perhaps a scale like [- one banana - smoke detector - dental X-ray emitter - radioactive therapy emitter - naval power plant - terrestrial power plant - nuclear weapon -] could be devised.

When I asked my dad about it as a kid he told me the workers would get really sick after being in the area for awhile, which is why the buildings only recently got finished being demolished.

When that news first broke, and before it was determined to be _accidental,_ judging purely by the available footage, I believed the world had just witnessed nuclear terrorism.

(I mean, relative to size, the Oklahoma City bombing paled in comparison. And that ‘splosion was fueled by a movers truck stuffed full of ammonium nitrate! So imagine how much they must’ve had sitting there, a literal ticking time bomb). It takes a special kind of government ineptitude to allow the circumstances leading to a disaster of that magnitude to happen. The people of Lebanon are well and truly right to be demanding for the figurative heads to roll. Completely. Avoidable. Tragedy..

Seimens should have taken the unit whether or not they still used Cobalt-60. The responsibility for proper disposal should lie on both the end-user and the original manufacturer thereby limiting the number of hands the machines have to go through. The take away from these incidents: don’t trust your disused radiotherapy units to third-party “licensed” storage companies.

They might have sold that division off. So it would be the new owners responsibility. I knew a company that made these types of machines. They sold off the building that housed they hot room where they reloaded the head unit with cobalt and the rights to reload the heads. Eventually one of the waster water treatments plants got a hit on cobalt radiation 60. They traced it back to this building and then capped off the waste water lines. The basement of the building became flooded with radioactive water. I don't remember what the end result was. They were talking about a bladder to hold the water and then let it evaporate naturally threw filters.

dan8t6 What the fuck are you even talking about, my dude? “Gingerbread house”? Really? That’s the analogy you come up with? It’s really not asking too much to demand companies take responsibility for the safe disposal of their obsolete products. If they aren’t prepared to provide for the disposal or storage of fissile materials, perhaps they shouldn’t be manufacturing such materials in the first place. You, though intrigue me. Your level of condescension and obtuse aggression tell me that you either possess a woefully fragile ego, a profound lack of interpersonal skills, suffer from malignant narcissism, or perhaps function under the burden of some combination thereof. Whatever the case may be it’s rather extraordinary in its ability to make you behave like an ass to strangers on the internet.

@somejoe7777

@@Yggdrasil42 Gray is a unit that measures radiation level in terms of the ionization energy that is absorbed. Sievert is a modification of Gray that accounts for the fact that different types of radiation do different types of damage to body tissue, even if the Gray level is the same. 1 Gray of gamma radiation is less damaging to the body than 1 Gray of neutron radiation, for example. In terms of exposure and radiation sickness symptoms, you can in most cases think of Grays and Sieverts as equivalent because most incidents of radiation exposure involve only gamma radiation, where the Gray and the Sievert are the same (for gamma radiation, 1 Gray = 1 Sievert). Only if the specific type of radiation exposure is not gamma rays will a difference between Grays and Sieverts come in. For the incident in this video, the exposure was to Cobalt-60, which emits harmful gamma rays. The non-SI system of units also has an equivalent. REM is equivalent to Sieverts in that it takes different types of radiation into account when computing damage to the body. The non-SI system unit that corresponds to Grays is the RAD. For gamma radiation, 1 RAD = 1 REM.

A similar incident occurred in Mexico in 1984.The unit was scrapped, the cobalt ended at a foundry which mixed the material into castings and rebar. It was discovered when a truck made a wrong turn into Los Alamos Lab. and set off a radiation detector. I contaminated rebar and cast restaurant table bases. Several people died and others received large doses of radiation.

I wanna start off by saying I love your videos. They are supremely interesting and you present the subject well. ONE bit of criticism. As a complete and utter moron it would benefit me if you explained the "scales" a bit when talking about measurements of this stuff. For instance you talk about how the one couple were exposed to 6Gy. But as a dumbass as my self is that a lot? Because of the topic I'm assuming it is but this, On top of when you talk about the levels when the investigators got near the sight, without knowing the scale or "whats normal, whats high and what's OMG you're fucked" it kind of doesn't hold as much weight as it could. Even if you just put like maybe a little note in the bottom that someone could pause and read or something I think it would help new viewers who havent' watched ALL your videos yet.

I used to work at a company that supplied and collected radioactive sources and therapy's in the medical field. I'd deliver the sources and pick up the old ones, document them and place them in safe storage. Mostly Co-57, Ga/Ge-68 reactors, Cs-137 that kind of thing. Every source has a specific and unique serial number and had to be documented every step of the way from production to disposal. One day we get a call from a very large company that produced, supplied and dismantled medical equipment (CAT scanners, x-ray machines basically every possible machine that uses a radioactive source). A machine came back to them with the source still inside. The whole company went on lockdown (2K people at that site) as they waited for me to come and identify it, determine how radioactive it was (in Bq), label it, place it in a secure container and take it with me to the company for safe storage. The whole damn board and everyone else of importance was out and looking at me doing my thing. I've never seen such greatful bigwigs before or since. I'm glad they take radioactive sources so seriously in western europe.
