This infographic contains information about external contamination, internal contamination and radiation exposure.
Following a radiation incident such as an improvised nuclear device (IND) detonation, state and local response authorities will need to establish one or more population monitoring and decontaminatio...n facilities to assess
people for radioactive exposure, contamination, and the need for
decontamination or other medical follow-up. These facilities are known as community reception centers (CRCs). The basic services offered at a CRC include the following: screening people for radioactive contamination, assisting people with washing or decontamination, registering people for subsequent follow-up, and prioritizing people for further care. This guide
describes the function of each station of a CRC and provides a question bank and other information to guide data collection at each station. A question bank format was chosen to provide the user the ability to tai

The CRC data collection tool is designed for CRC staff to fill out the information collected from the individual being assessed.
