To systematically review published literature for the research question 'what issues are considered (and changes made) for vulnerable groups as part of the Chemical. Biological, Radiological, Nuclear or explosive (CBRNe) response for casualty collection, decontamination, triage and casualty clearing processes?' Design: Seven-stage framework from the PRISMA statement for research question, eligibility (definition), search, identification of relevant papers from title and abstract, selection and retrieval of papers, appraisal and synthesis.

In any radiation emergency, it may be necessary to monitor large numbers of people for internal contamination resulting from inhalation/ingestion of radionuclides released from the accident. The National Radiation Emergency Medical Center of the Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences constructed a mobile radiobioassay laboratory for rapid field-based monitoring of internal contamination. The main features of the mobile laboratory were designed and the results of performance were tested for rapid monitoring in this paper. We found that maximum throughput for internal contamination monitoring using the whole body counter installed in the laboratory was about 200 people per day. The minimum detectable activities were estimated for the in-vivo and in-vivo radiobioassay systems in the mobile unit. This mobile unit will improve the population monitoring capabilities for internal contamination of individuals affected following nuclear or radiological emergencies.

Following a radiation emergency, children may be internally contaminated by the radionuclide(s) involved. Timely assessment of the contamination informs the need for medical treatment for those persons who had significant intakes and reassures those whose intakes are not a medical concern. In vitro bioassay reference values for children of all ICRP age groups are derived for 30 contamination scenario/radionuclide combinations involving 13 radionuclides. These bioassay values are derived from an intake that leads to a 70-y committed effective dose of 50 mSv or a 30-d RBE-weighted absorbed dose to the lungs of 0.2 Gy-Eq, depending on which criterion is more strict. These values are presented in a collection of lookup tables that can be used directly as references.
