Excessive Radiological Exposure at Lawrence Livermore Lab (1998)
The Department of Energy (DOE) evaluated the facts and circumstances surrounding the unplanned personnel contaminations/intakes at the University of California-operated Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL) Hazardous Waste Management Facilities on July 2, 1997, where five workers were exposed to an excessive amount of radiological material.
