On 13. 1. 2025, the lcencee reported a radiation emergency when an unplanned radiation exposure of a radiation worker occurred. The worker was in the radiation room with a source of ionizing radiation – the Chisostat SO 1 irradiator, which contained a sealed radionuclide source (“URZ”) Co-60 with an activity of 30TBq as of 13. 1. 2025. At the time of the preparatory work, the source was not in a shielded position.
