Book Description
This manual has been prepared to provide practical guidance to State, local, and other officials on criteria to use in planning protective actions for radiological emergencies that could present a hazard to the public. The guidance presented here is not intended as a substitute for, or an addendum to, a State radiological emergency response plan. It is intended only to provide information for use in the development of such a plan. The manual is organized to provide first, a general discussion of Protective Action Guides and their use in planning for the implementation of protective actions to protect the public. This is followed by chapters dealing with Protective Action Guides for specific exposure pathways and time periods. The application of Protective Action Guides and protective actions is discussed separately for various categories of source terms. Support information that has not been previously published is provided as appendices.

Book Description
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed this Manual to assist public officials in planning for emergency response to radiological incidents. For purposes of this document, a radiological incident is an event or a series of events, deliberate or accidental, leading to the release or potential release into the environment of radioactive materials in sufficient quantity to warrant consideration of protective actions. This Manual provides radiological protection criteria for application to all incidents that would require consideration of protective actions.

Distribution and Administration of Potassium Iodide in the Event of a Nuclear Incident
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309166691
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Radioactive iodines are produced during the operation of nuclear power plants and during the detonation of nuclear weapons. In the event of a radiation incident, radioiodine is one of the contaminants that could be released into the environment. Exposure to radioiodine can lead to radiation injury to the thyroid, including thyroid cancer. Radiation to the thyroid from radioiodine can be limited by taking a nonradioactive iodine (stable iodine) such as potassium iodide. This book assesses strategies for the distribution and administration of potassium iodide (KI) in the event of a nuclear incident. The report says that potassium iodide pills should be available to everyone age 40 or youngerâ€"especially children and pregnant and lactating womenâ€"living near a nuclear power plant. States and municipalities should decide how to stockpile, distribute, and administer potassium iodide tablets, and federal agencies should keep a backup supply of tablets and be prepared to distribute them to affected areas.
