PRESS RELEASE

RDD (Dirty Bomb) First Responder's Guide-The First 12 Hours Now Available! 

The Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors, Inc. announces
publication of the Handbook for Responding to a Radiological Dispersal
Device First Responder's Guide-The First 12 Hours. This handbook was
developed as a training and reference tool for first responders with various
degrees of radiological experience.  The RDD Handbook expands on the
concepts presented in the RDD Pocket Guide published by CRCPD in March 2006.

The RDD Handbook provides guidance in a number of areas, including a flow
chart of actions when responding to an RDD, rules of thumb, determination of
various radiation zones, use of radiation instrumentation, decontamination
guidelines, and multiple forms that can be tailored for specific needs. The
RDD Handbook also includes lists of state, local and federal radiation
control contacts that can provide assistance.  

This handbook will be useful for training, exercise and response activities.
Many of the concepts introduced in the handbook can be applied to a variety
of radiation incidents, and do not apply exclusively to dirty bombs.

The RDD Handbook consists of the bound document, a CD containing forms and
handouts, and one RDD Pocket Guide.  Ordering information is available at
<www.crcpd.org/RDD.htm> or call (502) 227-4543, Ext. 2229.  Price: $30,
including shipping.

The Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors, Inc. (CRCPD) is a
nonprofit professional organization dedicated to radiation protection.
CRCPD's mission is to promote consistency in addressing and resolving
radiation protection issues, to encourage high standards of quality in
radiation protection programs, and to provide leadership in radiation safety
and education.  CRCPD's headquarters is located at 205 Capital Avenue,
Frankfort, KY  40601.
