Louis, 
There are a number of sites on the internet that my
have printable documents.  For example
http://www.bt.cdc.gov/radiation/  (They have a section
for first responders.)

which leads to the DHS "National Rsponse Plan,"
http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/interweb/assetlibrary/NRP_FullText.pdf

and "Medical Treatment of Radiological Casualties" at 
http://www.va.gov/emshg/docs/Radiologic_Medical_Countermeasures_051403.pdf

and "Medical management of the acute radiation
syndrome: recommendations of the Strategic National
Stockpile Radiation Working Group," Annals of Internal
Medicine, June 15, 2004
