Testing the Capacity of the National Biological Dose Response Plan (NBDRP) EX40801

Abstract

The National Biological Dose Response Plan (NBDRP) is currently comprised of four core laboratories (Health Canada (HC), Defence Research and Development Canada-Ottawa (DRDC), McMaster University (MU), and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL)) that are capable of providing radiation biological dose estimates using the dicentric chromosome assay (DCA). As indicated in the CRTI-06-0146RD charter, the existing biological dosimetry capacity in Canada will be greatly enhanced by conducting ongoing training and annual exercising of the four core laboratories. It was also stated that the NBDRP will expand linkages with our U.S. counterparts to work towards an integrated North American emergency response network.
