MGM Official Summary
Daniel is exposed to deadly radiation when he tries to stop a catastrophic accident on another planet.
SciFi.com Official Summary
SG-1 arrives on P9Y-4C3, which contains three major countries. The Stargate is located in Kelowna, one of the three, and the team is met by Jonas Quinn, a special advisor to the Kelownan high minister. Further study reveals that Kelowna's tech level is similar to that of the United States in the 1940s, and that several Goa'uld artifacts were found near the planet's Stargate. Unfortunately, these artifacts have led to experimentation by local scientists, and SG-1 discovers they are developing a weapon powered by Naquadriah, an unstable radioactive variant of Naquadah. Such a device could easily destroy the entire planet, and when it is accidentally activated Dr. Daniel Jackson steps in to shut the device down, exposing himself to a lethal dose of radiation in the process.
