She was known to carry test tubes full of radioactive isotopes in her pocket, and to store them in her desk drawer, resulting in massive exposure to radiation. Her death, at age 67, in 1934 was from aplastic anemia due to massive exposure to radiation in her work, much of which was carried out in a shed with no proper safety measures being taken, as the damaging effects of hard radiation were not generally understood at that time. She was a pioneer in the early field of radioactivity, later becoming the first two-time Nobel laureate and the only person with Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry. Marie Curie (1867–1934) was a Polish-French physicist and chemist.Various dates – No INES level – France – overexposure of scientists.Clarence Madison Dally (1865–1904) – No INES level – New Jersey – overexposure of laboratory worker.The event is not an event involving fissile material or a nuclear reactor.To qualify as "civilian", the operation/material must be principally for non-military purposes.The damage must be related directly to radioactive materials or ionizing radiation from a man-made source, not merely taking place at a facility where such are being used.There must be well-attested and substantial health damage, property damage or contamination.In listing civilian radiation accidents, the following criteria have been followed: Military accidents are listed at List of military nuclear accidents. Accidents related to nuclear power that involve fissile materials are listed at List of civilian nuclear accidents. This article lists notable civilian accidents involving radioactive materials or involving ionizing radiation from artificial sources such as x-ray tubes and particle accelerators. ![]() ![]() 2007 ISO radioactivity danger symbol intended for IAEA Category 1, 2, and 3 sources defined as dangerous sources capable of causing death or serious injury.
