Abstract
AbstractThe authors describe Italian public health intervention planning for civil nuclear emergencies. With the exception of a few special aspects of prophylaxis and therapy, public health intervention in the case of nuclear emergencies are basically the same as those planned for “conventional emergencies,” however, a key role in nuclear emergencies could be played by the psychological aspect. Two different situations must be considered: 1) nuclear accidents involving workers only; and 2) nuclear accidents involving population as well. Differences in public health intervention required to address these two situations are discussed, both in terms of public health personnel involved, and of public health means and structures that should be available.
