Description/Abstract:
INJURED PATIENTS, EMANATING PENETRATING GAMMA AND LESS PENETRATING BETA-RADIATION FROM IMPREGNATED RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL, PRESENT A PRESSING PROBLEM WHICH IS RECEIVING ATTENTION BY PHYSICIANS AND RADIATION PROTECTION SPECIALISTS. EMERGENCY TEMPORARY TYPE FACILITIES WHICH HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE FOR HANDLING SUCH EVENTS ARE DESCRIBED. THE MORE PERMANENT TYPE FACILITY RECOMMENDED FOR DEALING WITH SUCH AN EVENT IS ALSO CONSIDERED. BECAUSE OF THE COST, MUCH THOUGHT IS REQUIRED TO INSURE A REASONABLY ADEQUATE FACILITY AT JUSTIFIABLE COST. PLANS ARE DISCUSSED FOR QUICKLY ASSEMBLING THE MEDICAL AND SUPPORTING TEAM REQUIRED TO DEAL WITH SUCH A CATASTROPHE.
