On Wednesday, September 23, 2009, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) launched a series of animations illustrating the consequences of radiation exposure on the Radiation Emergency Medical Management (REMM) website: http://remm.nlm.gov/whatsnew.htm
Medicom Digital created this series of animations to the specifications of government scientists to educate first-responders about the dire effects of the different types of radiation exposure. The following are links to the individual animations:
- Radiation Contamination (5 images)
- Radiation Exposure (2 images)
- Factors that Decrease Radiation from Exposure: Time, Distance, Shielding
- Radiological Dispersal Device: Explosive
- Radiological Dispersal Device: Non-explosive
- Radiological Exposure Device: Hidden Sealed Source
- Simulated Radiological Exposure Device (RED) on Skin Illustrating Dose Attenuation
