A nuclear attack on a large U.S. city by terrorists-even with a low-yield improvised nuclear device (IND) of 10 kilotons or less-would cause a large number of deaths and severe injuries. The large number of injured from the detonation and radioactive fallout that would follow would be overwhelming for local emergency response and health care systems to rescue and treat, even assuming that these systems and their personnel were not themselves incapacitated by the event. The United States has been struggling for some time to address and plan for the threat of nuclear terrorism and other weapons of mass destruction that terrorists might obtain and use. The Department of Homeland Security recently contracted with the Institute of Medicine to hold a workshop, summarized in this volume, to assess medical preparedness for a nuclear detonation of up to 10 kilotons. This book provides a candid and sobering look at our current state of preparedness for an IND, and identifies several key areas in which we might begin to focus our national efforts in a way that will improve the overall level of preparedness.

An experimental study was made to determine the protection against fallout radiation provided by the Medical Research Center at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Shelter areas in the basement which could be used as emergency hospital wards were found to offer satisfactory shielding during a fallout situation. This study also added data to the nuclear energy civil effects research being conducted by the Civil Effects Test Operations, Division of Biology and Medicine, United States Atomic Energy Commission, on the radiation shielding provided by structures. A fallout radiation field was simulated by pumping a sealed Co60 source through a long length of evenly distributed tubing. Radiation measurements were made inside the Medical Center by dose-integrating ionization chambers. In general, the protection factors (ratio of open-field exposure dose rate to structure exposure dose rate) varied from 200 to 400 throughout the basement and from 12 to 20 on the first floor. Two isolated areas in the basement Indicated much higher protection factors (1400 and 4000). Since this was a large one-story structure with a flat roof, fallout on the roof would probably contribute more than 90 per cent of the total exposure dose rate at most points within the building during a fallout situation. Methods of significantly increasing the protection at most points of interest are limited to increasing the shielding material between the shelter areas and the roof or removing the contamination from the roof.
