The loss, theft, or loss of control of Class III radioactive sources, or the loss of control of radioisotopes and radiation devices resulting in acute and severe radiation sickness and localized organ disability of less than nine people (including nine people) belongs to the larger radiation accidents.
In today's education, medical and industrial fields, radioactive sources are put into use. And nowadays, emission sources are also regarded as industrial products worldwide, and their trading and use are permitted.
X-rays are the most utilized nuclear irradiation radiation in the medical field today. Although X-rays can be used to solve some medical problems, they can also be used as a source of radiation.
But the real danger of X-rays cannot be ignored. Medical experiments have proved that if a patient receives X-ray radiation, and the radiation dose is quite high, then the possibility of the patient suffering from leukemia and other diseases will be far more likely.
In the process of nuclear facilities to complete various types of production, there will often be wastewater or exhaust gas, these wastewater and exhaust gas and other wastes mixed together, it is called radioactive waste.
Generally speaking, the production and management organizations of nuclear facilities will handle radioactive wastes in a way that prevents them from being transferred to the daily lives of the residents, which would otherwise have a great impact on them.
In the 1950s, in a small town in the former Soviet Union, a number of radioactive wastes exploded inside the facility due to a malfunction in the waste disposal system, and the radioactive material from the explosions then entered the surrounding air, causing massive damage to the surrounding environment.
Expanded information:
From the reality, it seems that the health threat posed by a nuclear radiation accident is extremely great, and in the moment of a nuclear radiation accident, a large amount of radioactive material will spread into the surrounding air. As the radioactive material spreads, it is highly likely that it will enter the living areas of the residents, thus infecting them with the radioactive material.
Once the radioactive material enters the bodies of the residents, it poses a great threat to their health. For the general public, after the body infected with radiation, there will be diarrhea, hair loss, bleeding and dizziness and other symptoms. For pregnant women, if the body is infected with radiation, pregnant women will be in greater danger.
On the one hand, the pregnant woman herself will be jeopardized. On the other hand, the fetus in the pregnant woman's self-gon will also be greatly affected by the deformity or death, even if the fetus can be born successfully, it is not possible to be like a normal child, its IQ will be significantly lower than that of ordinary children.
