  • Title: A note on the number of survey stations required in a mass casualty radiation event.
    Author: Goans RE.
    Journal: Health Phys; 2007 Dec; 93(6):705-6. PubMed ID: 17993852.
    Abstract:
    Guidance on the minimum number of radiation triage stations required in a radiation-related mass casualty event is presented using the mathematical discipline of queueing theory. These conclusions are valid under very general statistical assumptions regarding the average rate of victims seeking assistance and the average rate of persons who can be processed at a single survey station per unit time.
