Nuclear bomb explosions by terrorists as well as unintentional nuclear disasters remain possibilities as long as nations around the world have nuclear arsenals.

The text discusses physical and biological protection strategies for first responders at risk. It covers the full range of potential sources of radiation and includes an up-to-date list of helpful resources.
