Manejo de bajas masivas por incidentes radiológicos y nucleares Mass Casualty Management For Radiological And Nuclear Incidents SA Bland J R Army Med Corps 2004; 150: 27-34 Introduction Since the end of the ColdWar, the risk of a strategic nuclear strike seems much less likely. However, the proliferation of 'weapons of mass destruction (WMD) presents a new threat to both military and civilian populations. This change in threat was reflected in the New Chapter of the Strategic Defence Review. Examples of chemical and biological asymmetric actions have been seen in Tokyo and the US East Coast with the use of sarin and anthrax respectively. Concern about the proliferation of radiological material has been expressed both nationally and internationally. The use of nuclear and radiological devices on the battlefield and against troops conducting peace support operations remains a credible threat. http://www.ramcjournal.com/2004/nuclear_incidents/bland2.pdf
