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. The total time the worker spent in the radiation room during 2 entries (7. 1. 2025 and 13. 1. 2025) was about 12.5 minutes.

The investigation found that the last time the irradiator was used on 18. 12. 2024, it was incorrectly turned off. The irradiator was turned off by the main circuit breaker (not via the main control console), therefore the source was not put into the shielded position. It was also found that the backup power source (UPC), which would ensure the insertion of the

A moderately shallow magnitude 4.9 earthquake was reported around noon near Pondaguitan, Davao Oriental, Davao, Philippines.
According to Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the quake hit on Tuesday, October 7th, 2025, at 12:14 pm local time at a moderately shallow depth of 45. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.9 as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Pondaguitan (pop. 2,100) located 103 km from the epicenter, and Caburan (pop. 12,600) 112 km away.
