“At least seven people died out of a group of 24 patients who received doses of radiation up to 20% more than they should have been given at the Jean Monnet hospital in Epinal, in the Vosges in north-east France between 2001 and 2006. Another 424 patients received doses of between 8-10% higher than a safe level, due to a ‘calibration error’. Most of the victims, who suffered severe internal burns from the radiation, were being treated for prostate cancer.”
