On 17 June 1997 a physicist working as a senior technician at the Nuclear Centre, Sarov, in the Russian Federation, was severely exposed as a result of a criticality accident with an assembly of highly enriched uranium. The exposure, which caused a high neutron radiation dose, led to death within three days despite prompt medical attention.

One function of the IAEA since 1987 has been the investigation of the causes and consequences of serious radiation accidents. Accidents that occurred over the period 1940 to 1969 have been discussed in the course of conferences and symposia held by the IAEA [1–3] and included serious criticality accidents in the United States
