Fukushima Crisis Updates

Today In Radiation Safety History

On July 28, 1989 the international atomic energy agency (IAEA) releases a report on a radiological event that occurred in 1957 in the Soviet Union. The event occurred at the secretive facility of Mayak, a plutonium production facility. It wasn’t until the Soviet Union’s dissolution were western officials allowed into the area.

It measured as a Level 6 disaster on the International Nuclear Event Scale (INES), making it the third-most serious nuclear accident ever, behind the Fukushima and Chernobyl disasters (both Level 7 on the INES). At least 22 villages were exposed to radiation from the disaster, with a total population of around 10,000 people evacuated. Some were evacuated after a week, but it took almost 2 years for evacuations to occur at other sites. The disaster spread radioactive contamination over more than 52,000 square kilometers (20,000 sq. mi), where at least 270,000 people lived.
