Event Report Forms (ERFs) are filed to the IAEA. Sometimes there are multiple event reports, updating the rating, the event description. Here you only see the latest event report

ERF send date: Fri, 17-12-2004
ERF description: On September 20 2004, an event occurred at a laboratory at Studsvik in which radioactive sources are produced. Rebuilding another part of the laboratory building resulted in problems with keeping underpressure in the laboratory. This led to contamination with Ir-192 of the laboratory and a conduit connected to the laboratory.

The event resulted in low doses to individuals, both workers and public. Measurements show that the on-site contamination was approximately 3-4 GBq, which is lower then the preliminary estimation, and that the off-site release, through the ventilation system, was approximately 1-10 GBq.
