EV33 - PEP 1D: Quick and Dirty Radiological Dose Assessment Following a Rad/Nuke Emergency (Karam)

Lake George   08:00 - 10:00

 
I recently published a paper in HPJ describing a methodology that will make it possible for lightly-trained personnel (e.g. my father) to quickly establish whether or not a person requires the administration of decorporation agents, should be sent home, or requires more study. This PEP would describe the development of this methodology, how it is intended to be used in an actual emergency (at a Community Reception Center, for example), and will include a few examples showing how it would work in real life. There might even be some class participation at a mock dose assessment desk.
