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 ] Accident
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 using compressed air, but Thiệp entered the room and adjusted the samples by hand.
It is known to be responsible for six accidents between 1985 and 1987, in which patients were given massive overdoses of radiation, which were in some cases on the order of hundreds of grays. Three patients died as a result of the overdoses. These accidents highlighted the dangers of inadequate software control of safety-critical systems.
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 ...
The Tevatron (background circle), a synchrotron collider type particle accelerator at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), Batavia, Illinois, USA. Shut down in 2011, until 2007 it was the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, accelerating protons to an energy of over 1 TeV (tera electron volts). Beams of protons and ...
Fermitron was an accelerator sketched by Enrico Fermi on a notepad in the 1940s proposing an accelerator in stable orbit around the Earth. The undulator radiation collider [7] is a design for an accelerator with a center-of-mass energy around the GUT scale. It would be light-weeks across and require the construction of a Dyson swarm around the Sun.
Toyota Motor (TM) has long blamed motorists for some incidents of unintended acceleration in Toyota and Lexus brand vehicles. The world's largest automaker has reiterated that charge, which it ...
The aircraft landed safely, and no one on board was injured. He was released from a Hanoi prison in 1998. [17] In December 2010, Vietnamese police arrested Nguyen Bang Viet, a former Vietnam Airlines employee, for allegedly sending text messages to other employees about a bomb planted in October 2010 on a Hanoi–Siem Reap flight. This prompted ...
