Resources

•This is a list of resources both for developing a plan for handling radiation casualties and for use in responding to an actual event.

•It is advised that some documents be procured in advance for reference during an event. For example, NCRP Report No. 65 is an excellent resource for treatment of patients who have inhaled, ingested, or absorbed radioactive material. Radiation Protection Dosimetry published a Guidebook for the Treatment of Accidental Internal Radionuclide Contamination of Workers (1992) that provides additional information on the treatment of such patients.
