The Council updates its 1980 report Management of Persons Accidentally Contaminated with Radionuclides, which has been widely used by responders to accidents and incidents, and expands the number of radionuclides it considers in order to account for the fear of nuclear and radiological terrorism. It also incorporates recent developments in decontamination methods and the decorporation of radionuclides in contaminated people and draws from publications of the International Commission on Radiological Protection for data and biokinetic and dosimetric models of organ doses, total-body and organ retention values, and excretion rates of radionuclides. Tabbed sections of the spiral-bound volume cover a quick reference, on-site and pre-hospital, hospital, and post-hospital care.)
