While much of the public's fear concerning radiation is exaggerated, we must be prepared for some quite real threats, whether intentional or accidental. Radiation Safety, Protection and Management provides a comprehensive safety guide on radiation protection. With a focus on homeland security but with advice applicable to a wide range of incidents (industrial and medical accidents, releases from fixed nuclear sources, and others), this up-to-date reference provides a detailed understanding of how to prevent and respond to a radiological event caused by accident or terrorism.

Author Larry Burchfield introduces the reader to the basics of radiation along with the nature of terrorism and nuclear terror, then homes in on practical instructions for dealing with a radiological event. He discusses procedures and techniques for managing a radiological incident not only from a first responder/emergency worker's point of view, but also from that of health care facilities and medical staff.
