Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This technical note reports the required sensitivities for bioassay techniques derived from a 0.1 Sv effective dose incurred in the first year following an emergency (recommended by ICRP) and those derived from a 0.25 Sv committed effective dose (recommended by NCRP) as dose thresholds for possible medical attention. During a large-scale radiological or nuclear emergency, the dose threshold chosen for medical attention may be raised, as available resources may be insufficient for conducting a sensitive contamination assessment and medical treatment of a large population exposed to radioactive contamination. |
