1 ASTM E Standard Practice for Radiological Response

6 HISTORY DHS: RDD standard In general - guidance from academia Information extensive Not in the language of Emergency Responders Guidance did not address: Emergency response protective actions No risk/benefit analysis particularly to justify commitments of personnel Need standard and protocols modeled fire, confined space, hazardous materials, and EMS documents

7 Members ASTM Working Group Scientific advisor Office of the President Emergency response disciplines Scientific Community Meetings Every couple of months Weekly virtual meetings

8 Design NFPA APIE Process Analyze Plan Implement Evaluate

9 Document structure Introduction Scope Reference Documents Definitions Summary of Practice Significance and Use Prerequisites Radiological ERP

10 SCOPE Decision making considerations Begins with the recognition of a radiological event and ends when emergency operations terminate or response is assumed by specialized local, state, or federal response Emergency Phase DOT Emergency Response Guide Note: Does not address Nuclear emergency such as Nuclear Power Plant / IND

11 Significance and Use It is essential for response agency personnel to plan, develop, implement, and train on standardized guidelines that encompass policy, strategy, operations, and tactical decisions prior to responding to a radiological incident. Use of this standard is recommended for all levels of the response structure.

12 Pre-requisites Planning Concepts and parameters with revision cycle Resources Needs assessment (monitoring/ppe) Training Properly trained on equipment and response plan Safety

13 Resources All-Hazards Needs assessment (monitoring/ppe) Per deployable team Survey Meter Dosimeter: Recommend: one per entry team member/ Electronic & alarming) Note: Dose of record dosimeter may require a different type

14 Training Properly trained on equipment and response plan Minimum level of training NIMS ICS level adopted by AHJ OSHA (q) and General Duty clause Any federal, state, local, or tribal requirements NFPA 472 (2008) Ch 5 (core competencies), Ch 6 (min. PPE, Monitoring/detection)

15 Safety Procedures Ensure proper equipment Ensure self protection ALARA Time, distance and shielding Feasibility of life safety operations Risk vs. Benefit decisions

16 Planning Decision points Type of Response: Radioactive materials contained and legitimate Radioactive material(s) released or has a potential for release and/or presents an exposure hazard Protective Actions Defensive ops Hot line parameters (</= 10 mr/h or contamination prevalent)- Emergency decon plan developed Offensive ops High exposure rate = </= 100 R/h Maximum total accumulated dose recommended not to exceed 50 R

17 FDNY Type of Response Radiological Incident Radiological Emergency Accidental Radiological Emergencies Vs Intentional Radiological Emergencies Note: Line Officers are required to wear dosimeter

18 Note: FDNY Radiological Incident To be classified as an Incident the following criteria must be met: The radioactive source can be identified (i.e. located)? The radioactive source is legitimate? The radioactive source DOES NOT pose or have the potential to pose a contamination or exposure risk to humans and/or the environment? If the response to one or more of the above statements is No treat the event as a Radiological Emergency (if unsure request Haz-Mat Battalion)

19 RCA- EMS ALARM E-092 BOX GRAND CONCOURSE E 170 ST E172 ST UNCON MALE/ LOADING DOCK INCIDENT# 249 FDID; /28/

20 ANALYZE What are the On-Scene Indicators?

21 Can the source of the radiation be determined? Is the radiation source legitimate? Does the radioactive source pose a risk to humans and/or the environment?

22 Accidental Radiological Emergency Medical, research facility, or construction site Inappropriate packaging Transport Index (TI) Package compromised Orphaned source

23 Intentional Radiological Emergencies Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD) Radiological Exposure Device (RED) Other deliberate act (I.e. illegal dumping) Additional Operational considerations Request Law enforcement Be Alert to a secondary device Preservation of evidence

24 Decision Points Action Level: > Normal Background Hot Zone: < 10 mr/hr or 2x Background Critical Dose Rate < 100 mr/hr EPA / DHS PAG for managing dose 10 rem dose 25 rem dose 50 rem dose High Dose: < 50 rem dose Alarming rates set to half of above Based on Risk Based Response activities.

25 Feasibility of life safety operations Elapsed time of event Distance from source Exposure rate Difficulty of life safety operations Dose (victim and responder)

26 FDNY Actions 5 REM Notify the IC IC will determine if member shall continue with Life Safety Operations or exit Hot Zone. 10 REM (High Dose Alarm) Notify the IC IC will determine if member shall continue with Life Safety Operations or exit Hot Zone. 25 REM Notify the IC IC will determine if member shall continue with Life Safety Operations or exit Hot Zone.

27 Exposure Rate Actions High Exposure Rate Alarm Personal dosimeter reads 50 R/Hr Notify the IC IC will determine Mark the area

28

29 Safety Ensure each member is equipped. Radiation doses are recorded Conducting safety briefing Note: A Radiation Documentation Position/Unit may be necessary in large incidents

30 Post Entry Proceed to Responder Decon Frisking Maintain Respiratory Protection Decontamination Type: Dry Decon Vs. Wet Decon
