In March 1984, a serious radiation accident occurred in Morocco, at the Mohammedia power plant, where eight people died from pulmonary hemorrhaging caused by overexposure to radiation from a lost iridium-192 source. Other individuals also received significant overdoses of radiation that required medical attention. Three people were sent to the Curie Institute in Paris for treatment of radiation poisoning. The source was used to radiograph welds and became separated from its shielded container. A
