:toxx: posted:

On 21 October a cesium-137 source was stolen from a radioactive waste facility by three brothers. One of them had picked up the source when it fell out of a metal block and placed it in his jacket pocket. He took the source to his home and hung his jacket, containing the source, in a hallway, already feeling ill. On 25 October he was hospitalized and died 2 November; the cause of death was diagnosed as kidney failure, and no radiation injury was recognized at this time.

On 9 November the man's stepson found the source in the jacket and moved it to a kitchen drawer. On 17 November the child was hospitalized with burns which were recognized as radiation burns by hospital staff. The staff notified authorities, who found the source in the house on 18 November. The man who carried the source home received a 183,000 rad dose to his thigh and a 4,000 rad whole-body dose. Of the other perpetrators, one received a 1,200-2,000 rad dose to his hands, causing injury and the other a whole body dose of less than 100 rad, causing mild radiation sickness.

The three other residents of the house were injured: the child received a dose of 360-400 rads, with localized dose to the hands of 2,500 rad, requiring amputation of the fingers on one hand; the man's mother received a whole body dose of 225-400 rad and developed moderate radiation sickness, and the man's wife received a whole body dose of 50-100 rad. A dog that slept near the source indoors also died. Investigators reconstructed doses in locations around the house and narrowed down the timetable of the source's location based on thermoluminescence analysis of household ceramic pots, along with electron spin resonance analysis of medicines and sugars.

:yikes: That last sentence is cool though, why don't they ever do electron spin resonance analysis in CSI??

Here's also a video of the accident.

I can't believe they just had a bunch of non-blank rounds and regular guns just kind of mixed in with the blank guns and also the blank guns were loaded all wrong and poo poo...like every day on the set everyone was playing russian roulette but they weren't told they were playing it.

as far as I can make out the gun used couldn't be made blank (don't ask me how tho)

what makes it go from terrifying osha to manslaughter osha is the armorer (or someone handling the guns) bringing real bullets on set and firing the guns for fun. Imagine the thought process where you go from "heck yes shot the poo poo out of those beer cans" to "here you go mr baldwin your blank firearm" with the same gun

It's staggeringly irresponsible. I've known college student goons who were more responsible with their guns.

When you're a hypothetical firearms professional and make a a ca-2006 neckbeard who spends half their day posting opinions about anime look a paragon of gun safety while shooting produce with a clapped out Mosin in a quarry, something is extremely hosed up.

the only reason there were live rounds on set is because the armorer was allowing people to gently caress around and target shoot with the guns for fun. she was of the opinion that "guns are cool" and she needed to be a firearms advocate while also trying to oversee firearms safety on set

the gun itself was just a revolver, it could fire blank rounds. baldwin's statement about cops being present must be some PR rehab stuff ("middle america loves cops! you can't hurt your heartland appeal, they're loving the hypocritical anti-gun hollywood actor shoots someone dead angle!"). firearms are dangerous enough to use that a well run production will have a single person specifically responsible for only the firearms on set, and maintain constant awareness of where the gun is and what state it is in. its like lighting a stuntperson on fire, this is wildly dangerous stuff but it can be done correctly if everyone involved is paying attention and doing their job. there's no reason to have firefighters on set for this sort of thing because they won't know any more about lighting people on fire than the dedicated fire-stunt production staff will, and your average cop isn't going to know as much about firearm safety as a skilled and competent film industry armorer

I'm pretty sure the cops are going to want to do all the murdering themselves, though? It's probably in the union contract.

Reminds me of a long ago school report I had to do on nukes.

wiki posted:

Under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, a single agency, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, had responsibility for the development and production of nuclear weapons and for both the development and the safety regulation of the civilian uses of nuclear materials.
