may 16, 1983 - Buenos Aries, Argentina
Description:
At a major nuclear powerplant in Buenos Aries, Argentina, an operator’s errors during a fuel plate reconfiguration lead to him dying two days later. There was an excursion of 3×10 fissions at the RA-2 facility with the operator absorbing 2000 rad of gamma and 1700 rad of neutron radiation. Another 17 people outside of the reactor room absorbed doses ranging from 35 rad to less than 1 rad.
