Proceedings of the NATO Radiological Human Response Subject Matter Expert Review Meeting, 26 June 2008, Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States of America
Abstract
In June 2008, NATO subject matter experts met in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States of America to discuss an approach to modeling human response and casualty estimation for incorporation into NATO Allied Medical Publication 8, NATO Planning Guide for the Estimation of CBRN Casualties. The purpose of this conference was to review the proposed human response model for estimating casualties resulting from exposure to radiological agents released through a radiological dispersal device or nuclear fallout. Particular attention was focused on severity definitions and the dose-based injury profiles for two routes of exposure-whole-body radiation and cutaneous (skin) radiation. During the conference, participants reached consensus on the radiological human response model and the injury profiles for use in the document. The presentations and consensus points reached during the NATO Radiological Human Response Subject Matter Expert Review Conference are summarized herein. This conference was sponsored by the US Army Office of the Surgeon General (OTSG).
