1、Designation: E2601 15Standard Practice forRadiological Emergency Response1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2601; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses

2、 indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONOne of the legacies of the Oklahoma City bombing and the attacks of September 11, 2001 isrecognition that terrorists use weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

3、This awareness has changed thephilosophy of emergency response across disciplines. Incident response is still based on acceptedprocedures and safe work practices developed over the years, but the new mission must includeconcerns that are specific to an intentional release of hazardous materials desi

4、gned to kill or injure andcause destruction of property. This standard practice provides guidance for responding to incidentswhere radioactive materials might be used with that intent. The standard also applies guidance forgeneral radiological emergency response. The purpose of the guidance is to sa

5、ve lives, minimizeradiation dose, and move members of the public out of perceived danger areas.This standard practice provides decision making considerations that jurisdictions can use to respondto incidents that involve radioactive materials. The standard practice provides a consistent set ofpracti

6、ces that can be incorporated into the development, planning, training, and implementation ofguidelines for radiological emergency response. The standard practice does not incorporate long-termrecovery or mitigation considerations, nor does it include provisions for improvised nuclear device2(INDs) d

7、etonations or nuclear power plant (NPP) accidents. Jurisdictions using the standard practiceshall incorporate their own procedures for notification and requests for assistance from specializedradiological response assets.The following are key concepts associated with this standard practice:The stand

8、ard practice applies to the emergency phase of an event (0 to 24 h or until specializedresources arrive on scene if they are requested).It adheres to a risk-based response; this means the guidance presented is intended to be coupled withthe authority having jurisdictions (AHJs) understanding of loca

Full compliance with NIMS is recognized as an essential part ofemergency respons

10、e planning. In developing this standard practice, every effort was made to ensurethat all communications between organizational elements during an incident are presented in plainlanguage according to NIMS 2007. In keeping with this NIMS requirement, key definitions and terms,using plain English, are

11、 incorporated.It is not intended for large-scale nuclear scenarios (for example, IND), which may quickly exhaustthe capabilities of local emergency responders.The standard practice is not intended to prepare communities for nuclear power plant accidents. Thestate of preparedness for communities in c

12、lose proximity to nuclear power plants far exceeds theminimum requirements and capabilities described in this standard practice.TRACEM (Thermal, Radiological, Asphyxiant, Chemical, Etiological, Mechanical) issues wereconsidered throughout. While response to radiological hazards is the focus of this

13、standard practice,responders must consider all hazards during a response; it is possible that non-radiological hazardsmay present a greater danger at an incident.The standard practice does not address airborne contamination levels of radioactive materialsexposure. Equipment to determine this potenti

14、al hazard is not widely available in emergencyresponder communities. Respiratory protection is required for emergency responders until a completehazard identification assessment is complete.Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959.

Itprovides information and guidance for what to include inresponse planning, and what activities to conduct during aresponse. The scope of this standard practice does no

16、t explic-itly consider response to INDs or nuclear power plant acci-dents.3It does not expressly address emergency response tocontamination of food or water supplies.1.2 This practice applies to those emergency responseagencies that have a role in the response to a radiologicalincident, excluding an

17、 IND incident. It should be used inemergency services response such as law enforcement, firedepartment, and emergency medical response actions.1.3 This practice assumes that implementation begins withthe recognition of a radiological incident and ends whenemergency response actions cease or the resp

18、onse is assumedby specialized regional, state, or federal response teams.1.4 AHJs using this practice will identify hazards, develop aplan, acquire and track equipment, and provide training con-sistent with the descriptions provided in Section 6. AHJs notable to meet the requirements should refer to

19、 the United States(US) Department of Transportation (DOT) Emergency Re-sponse Guidebook (ERG) for guidance on how to manageradiological incidents (DOT, current version). This standardpractice provides additional guidance and is not intended toreplace the ERG, rather to supplement it (see Annex A14).

20、1.5 This standard practice does not purport to address all ofthe safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard practice to establishappropriate safety and health practices and determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2
