Delhi Radiation Leak

Nearly four years after the Mayapuri scrap market in West Delhi was hit by a radiation leak, businessmen in the Asia's largest junk trade hub say no adequate preventive mechanism has been put in place by the authorities as promised after the incident.

Delhi Police has filed a chargesheet against six Delhi University teachers in the Mayapuri radiation leak incident that killed one and affected 10 people last year. Six professors from the Chemistry Department - VS Parmar (Head of Department), AV Prasad, Ramesh Chandra Rastogi, Ashok Kumar, Rita Kakkar and Rooplal - have been charged under section...

The Department of Atomic Energy has confirmed that all the missing Cobalt 60 from Delhi University (DU) has been recovered. Sixteen pencils containing the radioactive material have been located and have been safely moved to the Narora Atomic Power Station.

Describing the Delhi radiation death case as a "wake-up call," Kapil Sibal said the Centre was proposing a regulatory framework for educational institutions that deal with such material.

The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board has said Delhi University can be penalised for violating the rules and for carelessly discarding radioactive material.

Three weeks since exposure to deadly radiation sent 19-year-old Gaurav to the hospital, his relatives have been waiting anxiously.

The origin of radioactive Cobalt-60 found in west Delhi's Mayapuri has been traced to Delhi University's Chemistry Department where it was lying unused since the last 25 years.

A man hospitalised after radiation exposure in the national capital earlier this month died due to multi-organ failure on Monday, doctors said.

A high-level meeting will soon discuss Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to scan and dispose of junk materials carrying radioactive waste.

Close on the heels of radiation exposure at a scrap market here, experts on Tuesday detected one more source of radiation in the same area even as another affected person was admitted to AIIMS taking the number of victims to seven.

As investigators groped for clues to find the source of Cobalt-60 that created panic in West Delhi, the possibility of the nuclear material being part of some imported industrial waste is not being ruled out.

An unassuming market in West Delhi turned into the location of a high-drama search-and-seize. The target: radioactive material in a scrap shop that has led to five people being hospitalized.

Experts on Friday identified the material which led to a "very powerful" radiation in a west Delhi industrial area as Cobalt-60, the exposure to which left five persons injured including one seriously.

Medical scrap caused the radiation leak in west Delhi and the Department of Atomic Energy tells NDTV it's serious.
