The widespread and increasing industrial and commercial use and transportation of radioactive materials has increased the possibility, of radiological hazards resulting from accidents invoMng these materials.
Which of the following is not a valid observation?

  1. If plant and local emergency services are not adequate to cope with the situation, federal assistance can be requested.
  2. Accidents may occur in facilities where radioactive material (are used or processed.
  3. In accordance with an interagency radiological assistance plan, the radiological emergency response capabilities of federal agencies can be used to protect public health and safety.
  4. Special emergency response capabilities have been established by the Environmental Protection Agency for coping with accidents invoMng nuclear weapons.
  5. When a radiological incident occurs in a plant, some degree of immediate response by state and local public safety personnel usually will be required.

Answer(s): D



All security managers must have a disaster plan to deal with nuclear attack and must be well informed regarding the disaster propensities of such an explosion. The effects of nuclear weapons differ from those of conventional weapons in all of the following ways except:

  1. An experimental device exploded in the Aleutian Islands in November 1971 had an estimated yield of more than 5 megations (NIT), which means it released more energy than the explosion of 50 million tions of TNT.
  2. A fairly large amount of the energy in a nuclear explosion is referred to as "thermaI radiation."
  3. "ThermaI radiation" is capable of causing skin burns and of starting fires at considerable distances.
  4. A nuclear detonation also produces an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) sometimes called "radio fIash."
  5. If a nuclear explosion occurs at or near the ground, great quantities of radioactive earth and other materials are drawn upward to high altitudes. When the radioactive particles fall back to earth, the phenomenon is known as "fa||out."

Answer(s): A



One of the greatest hazards that would result from a nuclear attack is radioactive fallout. A security manager should be well informed concerning the full potential of damage associated with this type of disaster. Which of the following is an incorrect statement?

  1. Gamma radiation most concerns cMl preparedness planners as it cannot be detected by any of the human senses.
  2. Gamma radiation is measured in units call roentgens.
  3. In an all-out nuclear attack against U.S. military, industrial, and population centers, it is estimated that severe to moderate damage from the blasts and heat effects would occur in about 50 percent of the nation's area.
  4. Gamma radiation can be detected only with special instruments.
  5. It is estimated that millions of Americans could survive the radiation effects of a large- scale nuclear attack by seeking protection in fallout shelters.

Answer(s): C



The federal effort in preparing for a nuclear attack includes providing state and local governments with necessary advice and assistance. All of the following are valid observations regarding federal assistance except:

  1. The federal government has conducted a nationwide survey to identify fallout shelter space as palt of the national shelter program.
  2. That, as a result of the national fallout shelter survey, it was determined that very few existing buildings contain usable shelter space.
  3. That nationwide radiological monitoring capability consists of several thousand federal, state, and local monitoring stations.
  4. That the National Warning System (NAWAS) has warning points strategically located throughout the continental United States.
  5. That the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) is composed of nongovernmental radio and television stations.

Answer(s): B



In emergency planning, nothing is more important than making sure that employees of your plant are thoroughly familiar with the National Attack Warning Signal. Which of the following is the correct signal?

  1. A Ia-minute wavering sound on siren
  2. A 3-to-5-minute steady sound on siren
  3. A series of one-minute steady sounds on sirens
  4. A 3-to-5-minute wavering sound on sirens or a series of short blasts on whistles, horns, or other devices as necessary
  5. A ringing of all church bells for 5 minutes

Answer(s): D
