Analysis of a Domestic Accident Related to an Industrial Radiography Camera

Abstract

It can be expected, in parallel the development of technology and the expansion of Paks Nuclear Power Plant that the number of industrial gamma radiography applications and equipment will increase.
Our article deals with accidents related to radiography cameras; it describes the radiographic projectors, their various types, and those typical isotopes that are used as sealed sources within.
In addition, we show what dose rates may develop as a result of a potential accident. The major domestic events are described in summary, while an accident occurred in Cegléd in 2012, when a truck carrying an industrial radiography device crashed with a train when it was entering a railway crossing, is assessed in more detail.
