Radiation Emergencies: A Medical Physicist’s Guide to Preparedness . . 🛡️ Understanding the Threat: Radiation emergencies can range from nuclear power plant accidents to intentional acts like terrorism. As medical physicists, we play a crucial role in emergency preparedness and response. 📌 Immediate Actions: If an emergency occurs: ✔ Get Inside: Shielding is your first defense. Walls and dirt provide protection. ✔Stay Inside: Remain sheltered for at least 24 hours or until authorities indicate it’s safe. ✔Stay Tuned: Follow local news and official channels for updates and instructions. 📌 Your Role (As an Expert): In the event of a radiation emergency: ✔ Assess the Situation: Use your expertise to evaluate the level of radiation exposure. ✔ Advise on Safety Measures: Guide the public on effective shielding and decontamination procedures. ✔ Collaborate with Authorities: Work alongside government agencies to manage the crisis. ✔ Stay Informed: Knowledge is power. Familiarize yourself with the National Response Framework’s #radiation #Emergency #medicalphysics #authorsubhash #healthprofessionals

New #radiation sensor equipment for units around the globe called the Joint Personal Dosimeter-Individual (JPD-I). Read how JPD-I help Soldiers keep track of their radiation exposure from occupational to tactical levels here http://spr.ly/6041R8lvV #USArmy #CBRN #ArmyTech #STEM #STEMSaturday

📣 Radiological emergencies can happen at any given moment. That's why understanding gamma radiation is critical for safety in various settings, from defence and security to nuclear medicine and beyond. Our simulators provide hands-on training to help you recognise the hazards of ionising radiation and the importance of radiological surveys to maintain safety. With the right instrumentation, you'll be equipped to respond effectively and safely in the face of emergencies.

Effects of external ionizing radiation on personnel - Part one The Summary is: In 1968, classified reports were already lost Atomic Weapons development will possibly mean that personnel are exposed to dangerous, uncontrolled doses of ionizing radiation. Personnel would be exposed to a hazard or internal alpha irradiation if they inhaled or swallowed much unfissioned material. It can cause bone tumours, can lodge in lungs, cause localised irradiation damage and further tumours. The fall-out hazard can be from relatively low levels of contamination over a very wide area, even from airburst weapons. Check back for Part Two tomorrow. https://lnkd.in/eTgz2FJt

15 minutes is really not a long time. This article shows beautifully how much has to be crammed into each of those minutes, and what difficulties a democracy has in making sure a correct decision can be made. For some decades we thought we were getting further and further away from such scenarios, but this decade has been one of getting nearer and nearer. #nuclearwarfare

Attribution of radiation health effects and inference of radiation risks. Considerations for application of the IAEA Safety Standards Safety Reports Series No. 122 International Atomic Energy Agency The objective of this Safety Report is to explain how the concepts of attribution of health effects and inference of risks, as set out in UNSCEAR 2012, can be taken into account in applying the safety standards and in more effectively communicating concepts relating to radiation risks in the safety standards.  Para descargar: https://lnkd.in/e7SA_cMK

Do you know what HIRF, HIRP, HPM, LEMP and NEMP mean? Here at EMCC DR. RAŠEK we take very seriously the need to provide a qualified and capable EMC laboratory (pic below) to carry out electromagnetic effects testing of various types of unintended effects and some intentional effects that influence electronic and electrical systems, explosives, weapons, other objects and people. We have decades of experience supporting our customers in carrying out tests such as: Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), including Electromagnetic Interference (EMI); Electrostatic Discharge (ESD); High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF), including radiation effects on persons (HIRP); High-Power Microwaves (HPM), including other forms of intentional interference (IEME); Lightning Electromagnetic Pulse (LEMP); Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (NEMP): Find out more about EMCC and our test capabilities through our website https://www.emcc.de/de/ #emctesting #newtechnology #smartcities #renewableenergy #avionics #military #environment #safety #future
