Protocol to treat people with wounds contaminated with radioactive material standpoint of radiological protection

The lack of a protocol setting out the procedures and places to care for victims with injuries for measuring contamination, first aid and referred to a specialized medical center in the area, indicates the degree of doubt and uncertainty that an institution or a society may face when the occurrence of one or more events of this kind. For this reason, the objective of this work is to establish a protocol for treating victims of injury with radioactive material from the standpoint of the Radiological Protection. To exemplify the protocol, possible emergency situations in the source preparation at National Metrology Laboratory on Ionizing Radiation (LNMRI) from Institute for Radiation Protection and Dosimetry (IRD) are discussed.
