years.
In response to Dr. Linneman's affidavit of Feb.
5, 1985.
- 1) A patient is certainly radioactive if he has contamination from loose particles adhering to his body or clothing, and he certainly presents ha:ards to any attending response personnel. Radioactive contamination is easy to detect and decontamination is eacily accomplished if one assumes that proper ecuipment 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) Ifia radiosctively exposed and inJuried patient is-treate'd as any other non-contaminated injury one risks the spread of contamination; to the detriment of any medical or paramedical attendents. To compare radiation contamination with. caustic injury or infection is:incoherant. Radiation
~
contamination is a unique and par.ticularly-dangerous mode of in[ury'and.not treated by any.

form of drug or biological aid yet known.

- 4) Although it is true that radiation injuries are seldom immediately life threatening, this is not g
I-say that it is never life threatening or that it is not dangerous. To ignore the fact that even low J
dose exposure is life shorting is irresponsible.
- 5) While it is true that an accident at the Perry Nuclear plant with substantual off site realeases
~
would not neccessitate large numbers of trauma E
induced injuru beds. However substantial number of-non-traumatic casualities would never-the-less be required according to the Sandia Laboratory Report of the NUREG/CR'2239. computer simulation of worse case accidents.at Perry, w.

- 12) In my perusal of the 1984 and 1985 Joint Commission on Accreditation Manual for Hospitals, I could find no requirement necessary for the Emergency Managment of individuals who have actual or.suspecta <posure to radiation or radioactive contaminatea materials. Also there is no Standard' V as. listed.
