Chapter 27: Accidental Discovery

Wang Lichuan: "There are currently more than 400 nuclear power plants in operation around the world, and the number of new nuclear power plants is still increasing, and there have been many accidents since the 50s. The largest of these www.biquge.info was the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986, which caused more than 200 cases of acute radiation sickness and nearly 30 deaths. Various types of radiation sources are increasingly widely used in various fields of production and medical treatment, and hundreds of radiation accidents of various types have occurred due to improper use and storage. Since the sixties, there have been many accidents involving radiation sources in our country. ”

Ye Zhenzhen: "You mean that Li Mingfa was caused by intestinal radiation sickness caused by excessive radiation from a radioactive source? But how can other people explain it? They are Li Zhihao's colleagues, they have no contact with Li Mingfa, and their environment is far away. ”

Wang Lichuan: "Judging from the sequence and severity of the illness of Li Mingfa and Li Zhihao, and your friends and colleagues, the radioactive source was transferred from Li Mingfa's surroundings to Li Zhihao's surroundings, and then from Li Zhihao's surroundings to his colleagues. ”

Fang Nana: "Will the radioactive source move?"

Wang Lichuan: "Well, the current radioactive sources are relatively small, and the closed device of the radioactive source is not large, so it is easy to transport and move. ”

Fang Nana: "Isn't there a strict supervision and management system for the use of radioactive sources, how can it appear in public places and hurt people?"

Wang Lichuan: "I don't know the specific reason for the leakage of the radioactive source, but, judging from Ye Zhenzhen's description, the radioactive source is most likely to leak in Li Mingfa's house, so let's go to Li Mingfa's house to check first." ”

Gao Wei went on to add: "Treatment of patients with radiation sickness is also very important, and after the cause of radiation is clarified, it is necessary to divide and stage treatment, which will increase the survival rate of patients. ”

Listening to the discussion of the three people on the other end of the phone, Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Okay, I'll go and inform the doctor." ”

Wang Lichuan also reminded: "The current radioactive sources are made in the shape of metal necklaces or metal pendants, and it cannot be ruled out that the radioactive sources are still around the patients in the hospital, so you should be careful." ”

Ye Zhenzhen: "Thank you, I'll pay attention." ”

Ye Zhenzhen hung up the phone, and the first person who thought of it was Nan Zhiqiao, who wanted to tell Nan Zhiqiao the news first, and Ye Zhenzhen used her mobile phone to prepare to dial Nan Zhiqiao's number.

Before the mobile phone number was dialed, the access control door on the third floor opened with a "squeak", Ye Zhenzhen and Xiao Xiao looked up at the same time, and Nan Zhiqiao walked out of it.

Nan Zhiqiao saw Ye Zhenzhen at a glance and said, "I think I know the cause." ”

"Radiation sickness. Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen said at the same time.

Nan Zhiqiao asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Ye Zhenzhen: "Fang Nana called me just now, Gao Wei and Wang Lichuan from the radiation institute happened to be next to me, and I talked about the condition of Kexin and Li Zhihao's father and son, and they speculated that it might be radiation sickness. ”

Nan Zhiqiao: "Judging from the symptoms of the patient, it is a manifestation of radiation sickness, and I suspected it at first, but so many people have radiation sickness, which means that there is a leakage of radioactive sources, and the leakage of radioactive sources is a major matter, and the public security department and the environmental protection department should have a warning notice of leakage or loss of radioactive sources, but we have not seen any warning notice." ”

Ye Zhenzhen: "Since you are suspicious, how are you sure that this is radiation sickness, senior?"

Nan Zhiqiao: "I was questioned about Li Zhiyi in the isolation ward just now, and I confirmed my suspicions. ”

Ye Zhenzhen: "What did Li Zhiyi say?"

Nan Zhiqiao: "Li Zhihao's father, Li Mingfa, usually runs a scrap yard, and the radioactive source may have flowed out of the scrap yard. ”

Ye Zhenzhen: "Radioactive sources have special recycling channels, how can they appear in the scrap yard?"

Nan Zhiqiao: "This is not clear, there are too many possible causes of the accident, and the most important thing now is to find the radioactive source." ”

Nan Zhiqiao took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Doctor Zhao, You Kexin and her colleagues have radiation sickness. ”

"It is not yet possible to determine where the radioactive source is. ”

"Okay, then your hospital will first use a radiographic detector to test inside the hospital, and I will notify the district CDC to test Li Mingfa's residence, scrap yard, and Nanmu Group. ”

Nan Zhiqiao said a few words, and after hanging up the phone, he dialed the second number: "Section Chief Qu, the cause of Li Zhihao's death is radiation sickness, and the radiation source has not been found." ”

"Li Mingfa's house and his family's scrap yard in Xiaoli Village in the suburbs, as well as the headquarters building of Nanmu Group. ”

"You don't have enough people in the health department to go to two sites at the same time?"

Nan Zhiqiao thought for two seconds and said, "In this way, your district CDC will go to the Nanmu Group headquarters building closest to you first, and as for Xiaoli Village, I will apply for the radiation station to send someone over." ”

"Okay, I'll also inform the Nanmu Group to cooperate. ”

Nan Zhiqiao hung up the phone again, and then dialed the third number: "Sun Suo, I, Nan Zhiqiao, I have something to ask you to help with the radiation center." ”

"One of the suspicious locations of the radioactive source leak incident is in Xiaoli Village on the outskirts, and I will send you the detailed address to your mobile phone in a moment. ”

"Okay, tell me if you find anything, and the public security department will also trouble you to contact it. ”

"Thank you. ”

Hanging up the phone, Nan Zhiqiao dialed the fourth number again: "Uncle Li, are you in Nanmu Group now?"

"Not in the hospital?"

"I suspect that there is a radioactive source in the headquarters building of Nanmu Group, and the staff of the district CDC will bring instruments to test it, and you should ask people to cooperate, especially the R&D department where You Kexin is located, to focus on inspection, and before that, move the personnel to a safe place. ”

"The safe place is two hundred metres away from the headquarters building. ”

"Also, the employees of the Nanmu Group in the hospital have radiation sickness, and the treatment time is long and the cost is high, so the Nanmu Group should be prepared. ”

"Okay, I'll rest assured. ”

After hanging up the phone, Nan Zhiqiao put away the mobile phone, and after four calls in a row, the things that should be explained were all explained, Ye Zhenzhen asked, "Next, what are we going to do?"

"Go back and rest. ”

"Huh?!"

"Maintain your strength to cope with what comes next. ”

Ye Zhenzhen: "Then Senior Nan go back first, I'll stay here to take care of Kexin." ”

Nan Zhiqiao: "You Kexin's condition is moderate to severe bone marrow radiation sickness, and it takes a long time from onset to cure, so you can't stay here all the time." ”

Ye Zhenzhen: "Moderate to severe bone marrow radiation sickness?!How long does it take to be completely cured?"

Nan Zhiqiao: "It can be as short as two to four months, and as long as one to two years. ”

"Ah, how long will it take?" asked Ye Zhenzhen in surprise.

"Well, this is still an estimate of the situation if the patient can successfully pass the extreme stage. Nan Zhiqiao's face was a little heavy.

"Extreme Period?!" Ye Zhenzhen knew very little about radiation sickness, and couldn't help but ask.
