一名男子在后院撒尿后将家人暴露在核辐射中

A report published by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency listed 575 incidents of inadvertent radiation exposure in 2017, including one in which a man in Australia exposed his family to nuclear radiation after urinating in the backyard of his home.

澳大利亚辐射保护和核安全机构(Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency)发布的一份报告列举了2017年575起意外辐射事件，其中包括一名澳大利亚男子在自家后院小便后，将家人暴露在核辐射之下。

The report, first disclosed by the Sydney Morning Herald, said the man had taken Iodine-131, a highly radioactive form of iodine often used to treat hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer.

该报道最初由《悉尼先驱晨报》(Sydney Morning Herald)披露。报道称，这名男子服用了碘131，这是一种高放射性碘，通常用于治疗甲状腺功能亢进和甲状腺癌。

The agency's report did not specify what the man was being treated for.

该机构的报告没有具体说明这名男子接受治疗的原因。

Doctors told the man to urinate only in toilets. It said a factor in the incident was "communication issues with the patient."

医生告诉这名男子只能在厕所里小便。声明说，导致这一事件的一个因素是“与患者的沟通问题”。

As a result, the man's family was exposed to nuclear radiation. The man returned to the hospital in isolation after radiation was found in the backyard.

结果，这名男子的家人受到了核辐射。在后院发现辐射后，该男子被隔离返回医院。

About 95% of the contaminated soil and turf was able to be removed.

约95%受污染的土壤和草坪得以清除。

Other incidents in the report, said the Herald, included someone who spilled a vial of irradiated solution on their hands at a nuclear plant in Sydney.

《先驱报》说，报告中的其他事件还包括有人在悉尼一家核电站将一小瓶辐照溶液洒在手上。

Even though the person wore gloves, the solution caused "tissue reactions" on the patient's hand. It was reported as a serious nuclear incident on the International Nuclear Event Scale.

即使病人戴着手套，溶液也会在病人手上引起“组织反应”。据报道，这是一起严重的国际核事故。
