    MODULE 2 CONCEPTS YOU JUST WORKED

    • Your Lane (NFPA 470 Operations) — Recognize, isolate, deny entry, protect the public, emergency decon, read the meter, keep the log. Technicians enter, survey, and run the RIID. The Specialist models and advises. You hold and feed.
    • The Rule of Two (2x2x2) — Two readings, two locations, two instruments before you commit the plan. A point source falls off with distance; a flat reading is a red flag.
    • Categorize by Spread (RREC) — No spread plus a point-of-contact is a contained industrial source. Spread rules out RED. A high number is not the same as a threat.
    • Radiation vs Medical — A low dose rate does not cause a sudden collapse. Acute radiation sickness needs a large dose and shows over hours to days. The patient is a medical patient first.
    • Two Worlds — RDD/RED is confirm and categorize. A nuclear detonation is survive and shelter. A mushroom cloud after an intense flash throws RREC overboard.
    • Damage Zones by Sight — SDZ, MDZ, LDZ. The moderate damage zone is the lifesaving priority. When EMP kills your meter, you read the zones by eye.
    • Dose Discipline — 5, 10, 25 rem guidelines; 50 rad is the withdrawal decision dose. Rotate crews, log time, control it with distance and shielding.
    • Dangerous Fallout & Decay — The plume grows downwind, then decays fast - about 100 R/hr at 1 hour to about 1 R/hr by 48. Shelter first, move later. Mass shields: get inside, or under the tank.
    • Get Inside, Stay Inside, Stay Tuned — Lowest level, most interior, 12 to 24 hours. Fire is the one exception. The family plan is built before the day.
    • The Neutron Gap — Your PRD reads gamma only. Fissile material reads low on gamma while throwing off neutrons. Low is not safe - get the RIID.
