Radiological Roles(Who is responsible for what)
Local Responsibility – Home rule! Community planners and zoning
Ex: Monticello’s EPZ/Subarea, Prairie Island Casino, Industrial facilities, Transportation (or lack thereof), etc.
County & Municipal EOCs First responders
State Government Department of Health Services Wisconsin Emergency Management
Federal Government Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Department of Energy (DOE) U.S. Department of Transportation (US-DOT)

Radiological Roles (continued)
Once a radiological “incident” has been identified or is suspected, local govt. can: Take care of it themselves (HazMat, etc.) and
assume all responsibility Call the State of Wisconsin for help!
Wisconsin Emergency Management Duty Officer contacts: Notifies Department of Health Services –
Radiation Protection Section (DHS-RPS) Other agencies as necessary

Ingestion and Risk Counties
Risk Counties Located within 10 miles of a
nuclear power plant Specific planning
requirements Kewaunee, Manitowoc and
Pierce Counties Ingestion Counties
Located within 50 miles of a nuclear power plant
21 additional Wisconsin counties

Radioactive Material Transportation
3 Million radioactive shipments throughout the nation each year
Tracking & Notification - only necessary when: Large quantities High activity
Points of origin and receipt: Industrial Medical Colleges/Universities Nuclear plants Construction Waste repositories

Industrial Radioactive Uses
Industrial radiography Locating metal
corrosion, weld integrity Process monitoring
Flow, level, thickness, consistency (breweries, paper mills, coal plants)
Moisture density gauges Highway & bridge
construction

Economic Impact of a Radiological Incident
Potentially enormous, both business and personal
Prolonged public fixation
Large government clean-up cost
Agricultural impact

Case Study
Goiania, Brazil 1987 A cesium 137 radioactive source was abandoned and
scavengers took the device and gouged out the iridium window. The blue glow of the cesium chloride cylinder appeared to be valuable, so it was broken into pieces and used for decorative or magical purposes.

Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania 1979
Nuclear Power Plant accident (core meltdown)
No significant radiological release
No Emergency Plan Uncoordinated Public
Information Lawsuits by the general
public in litigation until 1996 (all dismissed)
