The Orphan Source Incident
What is an orphan source? What was the orphan source incident in 2024? Why were we so worried? Were there any legal ramifications? What has happened since?
Based on experience working in the nuclear industry, this talk will tell the story of the orphan sources, where they came from, why we were so concerned, what happened next, and why the best intentions sometimes lead to radiological incidents.
No blame has been attached to anyone involved in the original incident, and aside from the original manufacturer and the regulators, nobody will be identified in the talk.
