Study Notes

ADT 1 Key Concepts

Stabilization, Isolation, Confirmation, Assessment, Awareness are fundamental concepts in the overview of Incident Command phases.
Phase 0 has 3 levels, focusing on awareness, detection, and triage.
Technical First Responders who are ADT 1 qualified must execute the basic Joint Mission Essential Task (JMET) including detection, communication, and triage during stable operations.
Threat Assessment is carried out by ADT 2/EOD trained Technical First Responders.
Phases of National Significance during an incident consist of RSP Safe to Move, RSP Safe to Ship, and Forensics, forming tactical phases necessary throughout the incident.
Presidential Directives PPD8 and PPD25 guide the National Preparedness framework and domestic crisis response protocols.
Strategic Operational and Tactical Control is defined as oversight of DOD personnel across CONUS and OCONUS for incidents of National Significance.
Aerial Measuring Systems (AMS) and RAP teams are valuable NNSA assets for airborne radiation detection.
Subatomic Particles: Protons determine the element, neutrons influence nuclear properties, and electrons shape chemical behavior based on their arrangement in outer shells.
In the isotope (^{63}_{29}Cu): Protons = 29, Neutrons = 34, Electrons = 29.
Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy states that energy and mass remain constant in the universe, succinctly expressed as E=MC².
Mass Defect is the concept of losing a small amount of mass to maintain atomic stability.
N:P Ratio (Neutron to Proton ratio) is critical for assessing an atom's nuclear stability.
Contamination vs Radiation: Contamination refers to the presence of undesired materials while radiation refers to energy emitted from atomic reactions.

Radiation Properties

Alpha Radiation:
- Originates in nucleus with a charge of 2.
- Range of 3-5 cm in air.
- Protective measures include respiratory protection and protective clothing.
Beta Radiation:
- Originates in nucleus with either a +1 or -1 charge.
- Range of approximately 4 meters in air.
- Respiratory protection and protective clothing are required to mitigate exposure.
Gamma and X-ray Radiation:
- Originate in nucleus with a neutral charge (0).
- Range extends to hundreds of meters in air.
- High-Z materials (like lead, iron, or tungsten) are necessary for protection against these types of radiation.
Gamma and X-rays are both forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Ionization occurs when energy is added to overcome the binding energy of electrons, resulting in their removal from atoms.
Excitation involves adding sufficient energy to an electron to elevate it to a higher energy state without removing it.

Ionization Types

Direct Ionization is caused by Alpha, Beta particles, and protons (mass).
Indirect Ionization results from X-ray, Gamma rays, and neutrons.
Bremsstrahlung is radiation resulting from beta particles being attracted to high-Z materials.

Photon Interactions

Photoelectric Effect: Photons transfer all energy to an electron, ejecting it and raising it to a higher orbit.
Compton Scattering involves photons transferring part of their energy to electrons, affecting their energy state.

Neutron Interactions

Neutron Absorption can lead to processes like radioactive capture, charged particle emission, or fission, impacting the stability of elements.
Radiation Protection Materials are categorized as follows:
- Alpha particles: shielded by paper, cardboard, or plastic.
- Beta particles: require light metals for protection.
- Gamma and X-rays: high-Z materials are essential for safety.
