Print View Posted on: 27 November 2025

Event Date: 01 September 2025 Event Type: Irradiation/Accelerator Facility Event Location: Czech Republic, Roztoky u Prahy, museum INES Rating: 3 (Provisional)

The museum in Roztoky near Prague operates an irradiation chamber that is used to destroy insects in collection items with gamma radiation. For this purpose, a sealed radionuclide source of Co-60 with an actual activity of 127 TBq on the date of the event is used.

On 1. 9. 2025, a radiation worker was exposed to radiation by entering the irradiation chamber to bring another object into it for irradiation at a time when the emitter was extended in the working position and irradiation was taking place. The worker was moving in a field of ionizing radiation for about 1 to 2 minutes. The worker was equipped only with a personal film dosimeter, he left the operational dosimeter in the office. After closing the shielding door, he realized his mistake and reported the incident to his superior.
After evaluating the personal film dosimeter that the worker was wearing, an effective dose of 320 mSv was

In-brief analysis

November 26, 2025

Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update; U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
Note: Weekly data reflect U.S. average regular gasoline retail price for all formulations; real price is calculated using Consumer Price Index from BLS.

On the Monday before Thanksgiving, the U.S. retail price for regular-grade gasoline averaged $3.06 per gallon (gal), just 2 cents/gal higher than the same time last year. After adjusting for inflation, however, this year marks the lowest average gasoline price for the Monday before the Thanksgiving holiday weekend since 2020, when the pandemic disrupted gasoline demand and travel plans.

The Thanksgiving holiday weekend is one of the heaviest travel times of the year. The American Automobile Association (AAA) forecasts 81.8 million people will travel 50 miles or more for the holiday
