TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - A new methodology for estimating nuclear casualties as a function of time JO - Health physics A1 - Zirkle, Robert A. A1 - Walsh, Terri J. A1 - Disraelly, Deena S. A1 - Curling, Carl A. SP - 286 EP - 298 VL - 101 IS - 3 N2 - The Human Response Injury Profile (HRIP) nuclear methodology provides an estimate of casualties occurring as a consequence of nuclear attacks against military targets for planning purposes. The approach develops user-defined, time-based casualty and fatality estimates based on progressions of underlying symptoms and their severity changes over time. This paper provides a description of the HRIP nuclear methodology and its development, including inputs, human response and the casualty estimation process.
