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.
