Re: First Responders
Dear Ray
In 1.5 hour presentation/workshop you really do not have enough time to
deal with more than one subject, explaining and discussion.
In terms just to comment possible situations where first responders usually
can act I suggest the following topics:
Scenarios about Isolation of areas and attention of casualties, in case of
an accident, including also the possibility that the source could be out of
control, before Regulatory Authority could be present;
Scenarios on lost of sources (or abandoned - orphan), where source is found
by member of public before Regulatory Authority could be present;
Fire in Nuclear Medicine Service Therapy using I-131;
Similarities and differences: Dirty Bomb x Radiological Accident in
Goiania - The role of First Responders, especially in the case before
Regulatory could be present.
I also recommend the following IAEA TECDOC 1162, August 2000 - Generic
procedures for assessment and response during a radiological emergency. This
manual provides the tools, generic procedures and data needed for an initial
response to a non-reactor accident. You and colleagues interested can
download it at
http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/te_1162_prn.pdf
If you need any more details about the suggestions, please send me an e-mail
