White paper commissioned for the improvised nuclear device (IND) workshop, authored by Irwin Redlener, available for download from the attachments menu on the right side of the meeting webpage at http://www.iom.edu/Activities/PublicHealth/ MedPrep/2013-JAN-23.aspx. SESSION 2 Planning Guidance for Response to a Nuclear Detonation was devel- oped by the Homeland Security Council (2nd ed., June 2010). This inter- agency consensus document provides excellent background information on the effects of a nuclear detonation and key response recommendations. Its definition of zones (damage and fallout) is becoming the standard for response planning and should be integrated in the planning process. https://responder.llnl.gov/data/assets/docs/publications/Planning_Guidance_ for_Response_to_a_Nuclear_Detonation-2nd_Edition_FINAL.pdf.
