Recovery and Resilience After a Nuclear Power Plant Disaster A Medical Decision Model for Managing an Effective Timely and Balanced Response

Based on experience from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant crisis, the authors propose a real-time medical decision-making model to ensure timely, organized, and effective response following a radiological or nuclear disaster. This model is in line with the current National Response Framework, and the authors suggest that it be used to manage "complex, large-scale, and large-consequence incidents."
