Subject:  Press Release for NCRP Report No. 138, Management of Terrorist               

                 Events Involving Radioactive Material



The attached press release marks the completion of a new NCRP report which has particular

timeliness because of the threats to our country in the past two months.  It deals with possible

terrorist uses of radiation and is directed particularly to expert groups and public authorities who

will have responsibilities for coping with releases of radiation or rumors of radiation releases. 

Much of the information in it has been taken from a variety of federal and official agency

sources and work plans.



It is the belief of the NCRP that the information and resources listings in this report make it

useful for every "responder" and medical organization to have a reference copy at each site

where such information might be needed on an emergent basis.  In the interest of public

information, libraries may want this report for reference. Because of this sense of urgency, the

NCRP is offering sizeable reductions from the sale price of $50 for single copies for those in a

position to purchase in quantities.  The offering is as follows: 10-24 copies $45, 25-49 copies

$42.50, 50-99 copies $37.50, 100-249 copies $35, 250-999 copies $25, and 1,000 copies and

over $12.50.



The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements is a nonprofit corporation

chartered by Congress in 1964 to: Collect, analyze, develop and disseminate in the public

interest information and recommendations about (a) protection against radiation and (b)

radiation measurements, quantities and units particularly those concerned with radiation

protection.
