to learn more about the IAEA’s work sign up for our weekly updates containing our most important news one of the sites affected by the worst accident involving a radioactive source that the world has seen Lessons drawn from the 1987 Goiânia accident in Brazil are still helping shape actions on radiation safety and security decades later It was the worst accident involving a radioactive source that the world has seen Cesium chloride from a dumped source that had ended up in a scrap yard spread undetected for over two weeks Some 250 people were contaminated and four died in the first month The event focused international attention on the issue of safety standards for radioactive sources The IAEA introduced rigorous safety standards for radioactive sources, namely the International Basic Safety Standards No. 115, co-sponsored by several international organizations. Brazil´s request that the IAEA draw ´lessons learned´ from Goiânia paved the way for more open, transparent reporting of radiological accidents. "With all the developments which took place since the Goiânia accident - in terms of controlling the movement of radioactive sources, preparing emergency response plans and waste management - certainly the public and the environment are better protected now than 20 years ago," Didier Louvat, Head of IAEA Waste and Environmental Safety says. Goiânia´s legacy of a handful of cesium chloride is 3,000 cubic metres of contaminated waste. It is now buried in a near surface repository on the outskirts of the city, where it must be isolated for the next 300 years. Despite improvements, worldwide radioactive sources are still lost and abandoned. In 2007, the IAEA knew of ten such incidents involving dangerous sources. Mr. Vilmos Friedrich, who heads an IAEA´s unit that supports countries to control radioactive sources, says these ´orphaned´ sources often enter the scrap metal exchange chain.
