Description
Data from NCRP Report No. 55 by the National Council on radiation Protection and Measurements are used in a hypothetical release situation to delineate the potential medical and legal problems that may arise from such a release. An analysis of these problems indicates that the effects of radioiodine release are the most important and that guidelines for countermeasures and follow-up action must be developed and promulgated. Model guidelines based on the hypothetical release are presented and discussed
