1967 radiation accident near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and a follow-up report
Description
On 4 October 1967, three technicians were simultaneously accidentally exposed to whole-body radiation from a Van de Graaff linear accelerator. The accelerator generated electrons down a tube at a target of gold, where a steady stream of x-rays was produced. The clinical course, treatment of the acute and chronic changes, and the current health status of the three patients serve as the basis of this report
