Thomas C. sent this: CDC Grand Rounds: Radiological and Nuclear Preparedness. Tom’s comments: “I found it interesting that one of the initial examples they give is from August 2004 in New York City. They conclude with the statement “The public’s maximal risk for exposure was less than that received from a single chest radiograph because of their distance from the radiation source.” Yet it took them 24 hours to contain such a small incident. Any larger incidents could be devastating. For me, this reinforces the idea of knowing where the nuclear plants are and how much warning you might get in order to Get Out of Dodge.”
