Four health physicists with heavy protective clothes are rushing to receive one of the three victims of the criticality accident in Tokai-mura in Japan in 1999, in front of the Medical Care Building for Radiation Emergency in National Institute of Radiological Sciences. They passed a mild case entering in assisted by rescue staff. See article by K. Miyamoto et al. on page 18 for more information.
