Anatoli Petrovich Bugorski (Russian: Анатолий Петрович Бугорский; born 25 June 1942) is a Russian retired particle physicist. He is known for surviving a radiation accident in 1978, when a high-energy proton beam from a particle accelerator passed through his head. [1] [2]
This resulted in three deaths and affected 100+ people. A woman was exposed to radiation while nursing her sick husband. Her dose was estimated to be 2.3 Gy by means of a blood test 41 days after the accident, 16 years after the accident the woman has been subject to premature aging which may be a result of her radiation exposure.
A massive project to build one of the world’s most powerful particle accelerators at Fermilab has been halted since May 25 while federal authorities investigate an accident that severely injured ...
They are also the first two particle accelerators operated in Southeast Asia. [2] On 17 November 1992 Thiệp was employed as the director of the Vietnam National Centre for Scientific Research in Hanoi. During a routine task, he placed his hands into a particle accelerator to adjust a sample of gold ore. This adjustment would usually be done ...
A simulated particle collision in the LHC. The safety of high energy particle collisions was a topic of widespread discussion and topical interest during the time when the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and later the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—currently the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator—were being constructed and commissioned.
The world’s most powerful particle accelerator – the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) – has sprung back to life after a three-year shutdown. ... People. Josh Hall blows up at Christina Haack ...
Harold Ralph McCluskey (July 12, 1912 – August 17, 1987) was a chemical operations technician at the Hanford Plutonium Finishing Plant located in Washington State; he is known for having survived exposure to the highest dose of radiation from americium ever recorded. [2]
Soviet Russian particle physicist Anatoli Bugorski was accidentally irradiated by more than 200,000 roentgens of radiation when he was attempting to inspect a malfunctioning particle accelerator, the U-70 synchrotron at the Institute for High Energy Physics in Protvino, near Moscow.
