แนวทางการเตรียมความพร้อมกรณีฉุกเฉินทางรังสีสำหรับสถานประกอบ การทางรังสี ในเขตนิคมอุตสาหกรรมมาบตาพุด จังหวัดระยอง / ภาคภูมิ อรามรุญ = An emergency preparedness guideline for radiological facilities in Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate of Rayong Province / Phakphum Aramrun
An Emergency Preparedness Guideline for Radiological Facilities in Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate of Rayong Province was developed. In this study, National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation B.E. 2553-2557 was used as a basis. In addition, domestic documents involving studied areas as well as the International Atomic Energy Agency’s technical document no. 1162 and EPR- First Responders 2006 were taken into consideration while the guideline was being developed. It could be concluded that the preparedness guidelines were divided into three parts according to the timing of the accident. They were actions taken before, during and after the accident. They covered preparedness, responsibility and operational procedures for radiological facilities, local agencies, provincial agencies and national agencies relating to radiation emergency response. In addition, a computer program, Hotspot, and Geographic Information System were used to simulate the radiological dispersion in the air. Two emergency cases were simulated; the dispersion of Am-241 and Cs-137. The simulations results show that the evacuations are not necessary for both cases because the doses are below the Generic Intervention Level. However, it was always advantageous to provide a radiation-screening facility for the public and radiation rescuers. This action could be regarded as a way to reduce the public panic. Furthermore, the radiation rescuers must take extreme precautions when entering, exiting and performing any tasks in the radiation-dispersing area.
