Proceedings of the NATO Nuclear Human Response Subject Matter Expert Review Meeting, 23-25 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 nuclear effects, focusing in particular on severity definitions and the injury profiles for whole-body radiation dose and blast and thermal insults. During the conference, participants reached consensus on the nuclear human response model and the injury profiles for use in the document. The presentations and consensus points reached during the NATO Nuclear Human Response Subject Matter Expert Review Conference are summarized herein. This conference was sponsored by the US Army Office of the Surgeon General (OTSG).
