In Norway, 1982, a fatal radiation accident occurred at a radioactive cobalt source used for radiation processing. There was a lack of realistic estimates on the victim's tissue or body doses up to his death. GSF was able to provide the first reliable dose values, upon request from Norwegian colleagues. Dosimetry was performed by ESR spectroscopy of long-lived radiation-induced radicals that could be measured in the heart tablets of the victim. The concentration of the free radicals proved, by proper calibration, to be proportional to dose. Procedures and dose results are reported; comparison is made with data from literature dealing with the same subject and also using TL as well as ESR. For biological relevance, the doses as determined from the tablets are converted into whole-body doses.
1982年在挪威，一个用于辐射加工的放射性钴源发生了一起致命的辐射事故。在受害者死亡之前，一直缺乏对其组织或身体剂量的实际估计。应挪威同事的请求，德国环境与健康研究中心（GSF）能够提供首批可靠的剂量值。剂量测定是通过对受害者心脏切片中可测量的长寿命辐射诱导自由基进行电子自旋共振（ESR）光谱分析来完成的。通过适当校准，自由基浓度被证明与剂量成正比。报告了相关程序和剂量结果；并与处理同一主题且也使用热释光（TL）以及ESR的文献数据进行了比较。出于生物学相关性考虑，从切片中确定的剂量被转换为全身剂量。
