Instrumentation requirements for radiological defense for crisis relocation planning. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5724860
Estimates are made of radiological instrument requirements for the US population to provide guidance for protection from the hazards of nuclear radiation from a nuclear attack. Much of the population is assumed to be relocated from risk areas according to Crisis Relocation Planning (CRP). The population is assumed to be distributed in shelters as follows: 34% in shelters in the National Shelter Survey (NSS); 17% in facilities upgraded for fallout protection during a crisis period (CRP facilities); 42% in home basements; and 7% in expedient shelters. To prevent overexposure to nuclear radiation on emergence from shelters and to reduce long-term carcinogenic and genetic effects, about 35 million dosimeters, 9 million survey meters, and 10 million chargers would be required.
