Hospital management of mass radiological casualties : reassessing exposures from contaminated victims of an exploded radiological dispersal device (RDD).

Journal Article Ansari, Armin ; Harper, Frederick Taylor ; Smith, James M. - Proposed for publication in Health Physics.

One of the key issues in the aftermath of an exploded radiological dispersal device from a terrorist event is that of the contaminated victim and the concern among healthcare providers for the harmful exposures they may receive in treating patients, especially if the patient has not been thoroughly decontaminated. This is critically important in the event of mass casualties from a nuclear or radiological incident because of the essential rapidity of acute medical decisions and that those who have life- or limb-threatening injuries may have treatment unduly delayed by a decontamination process that may be unnecessary for protecting the healthmore »« less
General RDD Risk and Port Security.

Program Document Potter, Charles A.

On October 27, I was invited to speak in front of the Subcommittee Coast Guard and Maritime Infrastructure of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee of the US House of Representatives at a hearing entitled Prevention of and Response to the Arrival of a Dirty Bomb at a US Port. Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico is recognized as having expertise in the general threat from radiological dispersal devices having led or participated in many studies on the topic, including a landmark study on dangers presented by the use of cesium chloride salts due to their solubility and associated dispersibility, andmore »« less

Consequence management, recovery & restoration after a contamination event.

Technical Report Jones, Craig R. ; James, Scott Carlton ; Roberts, Jesse Daniel

The fate of contaminants after a dispersal event is a major concern, and waterways may be particularly sensitive to such an incident. Contaminants could be introduced directly into a water system (municipal or general) or indirectly (Radiological Dispersal Device) from aerial dispersion, precipitation, or improper clean-up techniques that may wash contamination into storm water drains, sewer systems, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Most radiological, chemical, and biological contaminants have an affinity for sediments and organic matter in the water system. If contaminated soils enter waterways, a plume of contaminated sediments could be left behind, subject to remobilization during the next stormmore »« less

Spent fuel sabotage test program, characterization of aerosol dispersal : interim final report.

Technical Report Gregson, Michael Warren ; Brockmann, John E. ; Loiseau, Olivier ; ...

This multinational, multi-phase spent fuel sabotage test program is quantifying the aerosol particles produced when the products of a high energy density device (HEDD) interact with and explosively particulate test rodlets that contain pellets of either surrogate materials or actual spent fuel. This program provides source-term data that are relevant to plausible sabotage scenarios in relation to spent fuel transport and storage casks and associated risk assessments. We present details and significant results obtained from this program from 2001 through 2007. Measured aerosol results include: respirable fractions produced; amounts, nuclide content, and produced particle size distributions and morphology; measurements ofmore »« less

Unconventional Nuclear Warfare Defense (UNWD) containment and mitigation subtask.

Technical Report Wente, William Baker

The objective of this subtask of the Unconventional Nuclear Warfare Design project was to demonstrate mitigation technologies for radiological material dispersal and to assist planners with incorporation of the technologies into a concept of operations. The High Consequence Assessment and Technology department at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) has studied aqueous foam's ability to mitigate the effects of an explosively disseminated radiological dispersal device (RDD). These benefits include particle capture of respirable radiological particles, attenuation of blast overpressure, and reduction of plume buoyancy. To better convey the aqueous foam attributes, SNL conducted a study using the Explosive Release Atmospheric Dispersion model,more »« less
