Re: Societies issue primer on radiological terrorism threats:Kearnypracticalities



Radsafers and DDP,

My quick review of I 131 response in the Primer below, so helpfully

referenced by John J, then comparing it with Kearny's in his Nuclear War

Survival Skills

(from www.oism.org) suggests that KI ss 4 drops/d or one 130 mgm tab/d to

all who may be exposed when there is a nuclear attack, is needed while you

health physicists are determining the pCuries/m3 in the air.

Societies issue primer on radiological terrorism

threats

3/23/04



The American College of Radiology (ACR) has teamed up

with the American Society of Therapeutic Radiology and

Oncology (ASTRO) and the American Association of

Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) to release a primer on

how to prepare for a radiological terrorist attack.



Entitled "Disaster Preparedness for Radiology

Professionals: Response to Radiological Terrorism,"

the primer is aimed at helping medical professionals

and emergency personnel better manage an emergency

situation resulting from a radiological disaster or

terrorist attack. It serves as a quick reference in

the event of a radiological event and offers guidance

on proper preparation, as well as directives on

handling contaminated people and the consequences of

radiation exposure, according to the Reston, VA-based

ACR.



The primer also includes information on radiological

findings related to agents that could be used in a

biological or chemical attack. To download, visit the

ACR's Web site.
