Ep 247: Contaminated - The Goiânia Accident
About this episode
The episode discusses the Goiânia Accident, a nuclear incident in Brazil linked to economic collapse and poor security.
Let's talk about a real accidental nuclear accident - it's economic collapse, tied to poor security, that leads to deaths. In Brazil, while the economy collapsed in the 1980s, people tended to find scrap metal in buildings, including those that used to be hospitals, and those hospitals, in this case, had very dangerous radioactive materials left behind. Those get stolen, and a crisis is afoot!
