A scrap metal dealer in Goiânia in central Brazil come upon a heavy metal box from an abandoned cancer treatment hospital. He was happy, because of its weight. What he did not know, was that he found a deadly dangerous machine which should kill his people and contaminate thousands of innocent people in the town. What he brought home was a radioactive Cesium-137-canon. He opened it and was fascinated by the blue shine of the highly radioactive Cesium 137. The merchant decorated his wife with it. His six years old daughter eventually ate the blue shining crystals and became the first victim of this Brazilian „Chernobyl“.
