The chapter starts with an overview of the nature of major sites of radioactive environmental contamination. A brief summary of the health effects associated with exposure to ionizing radiation and radioactive materials follows. The remainder of the chapter summarizes current knowledge of the properties of radionuclides as obtained and applied in three interacting spheres... 

Restricted area is an area of limited access that the licensee estabhshes for the purpose of protecting individuals against undue risks from exposure to radiation and radioactive materials. 

Restricted area means any area access to which is controlled by the licensee for purposes of protection of individuals from exposure to radiation and radioactive materials. Restricted area shall not include any areas used as residential quarters, although a separate room or rooms in a residential building may be set apart as a restricted area. 

The amount of time they can safely work in an area contaminated with radioactive materials Equipment needed to protect ihem.seives from radiation and radioactive materials Types of respiratory devices needed to work in the contaminated area How to use radiation monitoring devices... 

Medical preparedness begins with an awareness of what type of ionizing radiation and radioactive materials are used in a country and where they are used. This is accomplished by identifying the threat categories for facilities and areas in the country.
