In the emergency phase immediately after the accident has occurred, key off-site sources of radiation dose to humans include inhalation and radionuclides deposited onto both man-made and natural surfaces. Actions to reduce radiation doses in the emergency phase are termed countermeasures. Thereafter, in the...
