Accidents and terrorist attacks that lead to the release of
radioactive materials can cause deaths, injuries, and a range of
psychosocial effects in the surrounding community and team of
emergency responders. In the United States, federal, state, and
local agencies respond with the necessary resources to address the
consequences of nuclear and radiological incidents and monitor the
affected population. Following the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear
Power Plant accident and the 2017 Gotham Shield National Level
Exercise, the CDC recognized an opportunity to improve their
practices by establishing a more efficient and timely health effect
surveillance system before another incident occurs. On March
12-13th, 2019, the National Academies convened a workshop to
discuss the process for preparing a radiation registry for
monitoring long-term health effects of populations affected by a
nuclear or radiological incident. Participants assessed existing
information, useful practices, and tools for planning a radiation
registry that will enhance incident monitoring and response
methods. This publication summarizes the discussions and
presentations from the workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter
