Dear Dr. Wallace:
Upon receiving your letter of September 30, 1985 inquiring abcut our capabilities to provide medical service to individuals contaminated by radiation, I reviewed our earlier response to the survey conducted during 1983.
Essentially, our capabilities are unchanged.
Specifically, this means that we could normally accommodate four or five individuals who suffered from aplastic anemia due to excessive radiation.
In addition, we coilld simultaneously handle the decontamination of an additional five patients who were otherwise unaffected.
This is the same capacity as we had during 1983.~
Again, as stated in our 1983 response, if faced with a catastrophic emergency, we could accommodate perhaps two hundred patients.
continue to routinely and periodically test our pre-We paredness with drills that are conducted by our Disaster Committee.
As a result of these drills we take appropriate follow-up action
-ith our staff.
If you would like any additional information, or would like
'u s to participate in a regional effort to plan a coordinated response to radiation emergencies, please let me know.
We would be gind to assist you in such an effort.
Sincerely, i
[
