Resources for Radiological Terrorism Protective Actions and FirstResponders

["Strom, Daniel J" <strom@PNL.GOV>]

All,



Here are some web materials I have come across recently for Resources for Radiological Terrorism Protective Actions and First Responders. Remember, if you need these, the web may be down or jammed, and you may have no electricity, so it may be prudent to be prepared.



In addition to NCRP Report 138 (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). 2001. Management of Terrorist Events Involving Radioactive Material. NCRP Report No. 138, NCRP Publications, Bethesda, Maryland; http://www.ncrp.com ) there are several on-line documents available.



The US Government's guidance on sheltering at home is found at http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/shelter.htm



Pocket Guide for Responders to Ionizing Radiation Terrorism http://www.afrri.usuhs.mil/www/outreach/pocketguide.htm

Medical Management of Radiological Casualties http://www.afrri.usuhs.mil/www/outreach/pdf/radiologicalhandbooksp99-2.pdf



Training from FEMA on emergency response: http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/index.asp



LLNL (Glenn Seaborg Training Institute) has superb training for first responders on many radiological topics in both PowerPoint and .pdf: http://www.llnl.gov/seaborginstitute/training.html



There is lots of Information from CDC: http://www.bt.cdc.gov/ , http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/response.htm



EPA's 1992 Protective Action Guides are not on the web, and are being revised. Watch http://www.epa.gov/radiation/rert/pags.htm



However, the PAG for radioactive iodine has been revised and FDA's Potassium Iodide (KI) Guidance (new, age-dependent) is at http://www.fda.gov/cder/guidance/4825fnl.htm 

CDC echoes FDA's KI guidance in less technical terms at http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/ki.htm



Many interesting documents at http://www.fas.org/nuke/  In particular, the NATO HANDBOOK ON THE MEDICAL ASPECTS OF NBC DEFENSIVE OPERATIONS AMedP-6(B) PART I - NUCLEAR can be found at http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/doctrine/dod/fm8-9/1toc.htm This came from U.S. Department of the ARMY FIELD MANUAL 8-9,  NAVY MEDICAL PUBLICATION 5059,  AIR FORCE JOINT MANUAL 44-151 *FM 8-9, *NAVMED P-5059, *AFJMAN 44-151, Washington, D.C., 1 February 1996.
