Abstract:
Objective To analyze the current status of nuclear radiation health emergency response capacity in areas of the nuclear power plants in Guangdong Province, and to formulate a construction plan for municipal-level nuclear radiation health emergency response teams. Methods Provincial-, municipal-, and county-level administrative regions in the nuclear power plant host areas of Guangdong Province were selected as the study subjects. A series of questionnaires designed by the National Institute for Radiological Protection, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, were used to assess the capacity of nuclear radiation health emergency response. Based on the findings, a construction plan for municipal-level nuclear radiation health emergency response teams was formulated. Results A total of 13 administrative regions which host nuclear power plants were involved, including one provincial-level, six municipal-level, and six county-level regions. The availability rates of 31 capacity indicators of nuclear radiation health emergency response among 13 administrative regions ranged from 15% to 100%, with an average of 51%. Provincial-level capacity of nuclear radiation health emergency response was relatively well established, county-level radiation monitoring and protection capacity was nearly absent, municipal-level regions possessed basic capacity, but with obvious regional disparities and a general lack of specialized facilities and materials required for the treatment of nuclear radiation injuries, making them the key level for improvement in nuclear radiation health emergency response. The Construction Plan for Municipal-Level Nuclear Radiation Health Emergency Response Teams specifies that the total number of team members should be no fewer than 30 to ensure rapid response and immediate arrival at the scene. The List of Key Professional Equipment proposes the prioritized allocation of five categories of equipment: personal basic equipment, contamination detection and classification equipment, decontamination equipment, medical treatment equipment, and command and logistical support equipment. Conclusion Nuclear radiation health emergency response capacity in Guangdong Province requires further improvement, particularly in standardized development of municipal-level nuclear radiation health emergency response teams. The Construction Plan for Municipal-Level Nuclear Radiation Health Emergency Response Teams defines capacity requirements and provides a list of essential equipment, offering a practical reference for other regions.
