SC 4-1: Management of Persons Contaminated with Radionuclides

The Committee is preparing a revision of NCRP Report No. 65 on Management of Persons Accidentally Contaminated with Radionuclides. In planning the report’s scope, it was noted that Report No. 65 was focused primarily on individuals contaminated with one or more radionuclides at a nuclear facility that was prepared to deal with the needed medical care, bioassay measurements, dose calculations, follow-up measurements, etc. However, a much broader range of contamination events has occurred, and more may occur whose features could be described as "small" or "large" numbers of contaminated people, "accidental" or "deliberate" contaminating events, and not necessarily associated with nuclear facilities. Therefore, the Committee is broadening the coverage of radionuclides considered as well as the possible exposure and response scenarios that may be involved. It is intended that this report will be a multipurpose handbook that will provide quick reference information for early post-exposure actions, as well as guides for longer-term management and treatment of exposed persons. The Committee held its final meeting on July 8-9, 2006 in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The PAC 4 review took place during the fourth quarter of 2007 and Council review will be completed in early April 2008.
