Two workers of the Rawatbhata atomic power station in Rajasthan are
under observation after they were found to have been exposed to
radioactive tritium vapour beyond the permissible limit.
The incident took place on June 23 at Unit 5 when a modification work
was on during a routine biennial shutdown.
Emphasising that there was no abnormal release of radioactivity and
that the workers were hale and hearty, Executive Director in-charge of
media at the Nuclear Power Corporationof India Limited (NPCIL)
Nalinish Nagaich said tritium was only mildly radioactive and would
get removed from the body within a short time.
"There is absolutely no cause for worry. Tritium is a soft beta
emitter and once it enters the body, its removal starts and it gets
reduced appreciably withina week."
The workers were continuing to report for work and posted in
non-radioactive areas. The incident was investigated by a committee
set up by NPCIL and another by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board.
Their recommendations to prevent such incidents were being
implemented.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
