Description

Previous studies have shown the necessity of inhaling an aerosol of D-T.P.A. based on a mere presumption of respiratory contamination by radionuclides such as plutonium and transuranics, yttrium, and rare earth elements, as soon as possible after the accident. For this emergency treatment to be implemented, exposed personnel must have access to an individual and portable aerosol generator.

Abstract (French)

Des études préalables ont montré la nécessité d'inhaler un aérosol de D-T.P.A. sur simple présomption de contamination respiratoire par des radionucléides tels que le plutonium et les transplutoniens, l'yttrium et les terres rares, ce, le plus tôt possible après l'accident. Pour que ce traitement d'urgence puisse être mis en œuvre, les personnels exposés doivent disposer d'un générateur d'aérosol individuel et portatif.
