ueafG.
In rewarese to Dr. Linneman's affidavit of Feb.
5, 15785.
- 1) A pal 1ent is certainlu radioactive if he has contamination froni loose particien adhering to his body or clothing, and he certainly presents hazards to any attending response personnel. Radinactive con t a:ni nat ion in can9 to detcct and decontamination is eanily accouplished if one assumes that proper equipment and well trained personnel to interrept the equipment.
is available on a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> basis.
- 2) If a radioactively e:: posed and injuried patient is treated an any other non-contaminated inJuru one eist 9 ttee spread of contamination; to the detriment of any medical or paramedical a t tr nden ts. To cot,p 4re radiation contamination with caustic injury-or infectson in f ru oherant.

4 )- Althc.uoh it is true that radiation injuries are co l drmi immediately life t h r e.iten i ng, this is not say that it is never' life threatening or that it is not dengerous. To ignore the fact that even low dose exposure is life-shorting is irrouponsible.
- 5) While it i s t rtie that an accident at the Perry Nuclear plan t tai th sttbst au t ual off si te realeae,en T
woo l ti not neccessitate large nunibers of trauma induced injuru beds. However stibstan t i a l number of non-t raumatic casualit ies woul d never-the-less be required according to the Sandia Laboratory Report of the NUREG/CR 2239 computer simulation of worse
~
case' accidents aO Perru.
It postulates:
- 1) 5,500 earily deaths within 60 days.
- 2) If30,000 radiation induced i nj ur iets.
- 3) 14,000 casec of malignancy.
- 6) NO C0f ! MENT.
-Cavalier dismissal of radiation hazards in a
sign r
of inrempetency.
- 7) Present levels of medical renources avai}able for treatment of radiation contamination at ACitC are so ertwotive'that even minimal numberu of injuried plant worker or public citzens is impossible.
-8) - 11) To my 1:noatel dqe and hel ief upon i n t er v i cio i n c3
,s various Emergency Room personnel the amount of training offered was only two hours which is insufficient for proficient medical care of raditit ion injured persona.
- 12) In mu 5:erosal of the l '7 G 4 and 1985.icint Commission on Accreditation Manual for Hospitals, I i ntij d find no requirement necessaru for the Emergencu Managment of individuals who have actual or cucpect exposure to radiation or radioactive contaminated materials. Also there is no Standard V as listed.
