DHS Strategy for Improving the National Response and Recovery from an IND
Attack, April 2010, is an Official Use Only document that breaks the initially
overwhelming IND response planning activity down into 7 manageable
capability categories with supporting
objectives. This can be a valuable document to
guide a state and regional planning process through
time phased capability requirements for
Doctrine/Plans, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel,
Facilities, and Regulations/Authorities/ Grants/Standards. This OUO document
is available on LLIS.iii

Recent research over the last few years has helped greatly improve our
understanding of appropriate actions for the public and responder
community to take after a nuclear detonation. Much of this research was
recently highlighted in a National Academies Bridge Journal on Nuclear
Dangers. This research points out the potentially misleading shelter /
evacuation conclusions that can be drawn from using oversimplified
modeling assumptions (a.k.a circles of prompt effects and cigar shaped
Gaussian fallout patters using surface wind conditions).
Planning Guidance for Response to a Nuclear Detonation was developed by
the Homeland Security Council, 2nd Ed, June 2010. This interagency
consensus document provides excellent background information on the
effects of a nuclear detonation and key response recommendations. Its
definition of zones (damage and fallout) are becoming the standard for
response planning and should be integrated in the planning process.
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) Report
No. 165 Responding to a Radiological or Nuclear Terrorism Incident: A Guide
for Decision Makers, was released Feb 2011 and is a National Standard that
supplies the science and builds on many of the concepts of the Planning
Guidance.
An entire edition of the journal for Disaster Medicine and Public Health
Preparedness was dedicated to the public health issues associated with the
aftermath of nuclear terrorism. All of the articles are available for free
download from the highlighted link."a-
