RE: Treatment of radiation accident/terrorism victims
Jack,
But do we do about NCRP/ICRP? EPA/DOE/NRC? BEIR/IAEA/UNSCEAR? All the same small group of people with a mission to mislead the politicians/public/media!?
Regards, Jim

The best treatment would be to educate the public so the media and antis
can't lie to them as readily.

Subject: Treatment of radiation accident/terrorism victims
Just released on the U.S. National Cancer Institute website
<http://www3.cancer.gov/rrp/moderate.pdf>
"Molecular and Cellular Biology of Moderate Dose Radiation and
Potential Mechanisms of Radiation Protection"
"Normal tissue radiation response and injury after exposure to
ionizing radiation are of great importance to patients with cancer,
populations potentially exposed to military, accidental or
intentional exposure... A scientific workshop was convened to address
the recent scientific progress in molecular, cellular and whole
animal radiobiology, biodosimetry, and current and future treatments
to prevent or ameliorate radiation damage to normal tissues."
My words: Basically this is an outline of what we know about the
possible consequences of nuclear terrorism, what we could do now to
treat victims of nuclear terror, and what we could develop in the
short (less than 1 year) or long-term (3-5 years) to improve our
ability to treat such victims.
