Description: (physicist, nuclear scientist)
Anatoli Petrovich Bugorski, a Russian retired particle physicist, is widely recognized for surviving a remarkable radiation accident in 1978. During his work with a particle accelerator, Bugorski was struck by a high-energy proton beam that passed through his head. Despite this unprecedented event, he persevered in his physics career and made notable advancements in the field. Bugorski's encounter with the radiation accident offered important insights into the impact of radiation exposure on the human body, resulting in improvements in radiation safety procedures and enhancing scientific knowledge in this domain.
