Abstract：
:Human beings have always suffered and have incurred irreparable damages from different disasters. The most logical way to deal with disaster is to be comprehensively prepared. In line with this, the readiness of hospitals in the vicinity of nuclear centers is of great importance, as this could lead to reduced injuries and damage. In this study, we aimed to develop a model by which hospitals could effectively react to nuclear incidents. This is a comparative study using library studies, including examining existing patterns, recommended policies and instructions of WHO and IEAE, and articles and documents of selected countries that have models for radiation disaster management. The primary developed model was discussed in expert panels and, ultimately, with some modifications, was finalized. The findings of the research indicated that the most important factors in the success of crisis management are skill in predicting a crisis and having a preparation plan for necessary measures at the time of an incident. Different countries have developed various approaches toward radiation incident management that are mostly focused on human resources, medical equipment, and physical space. The model plan developed here includes a two-part foundation with seven pillars. Intra- and intersectorial arrangements are considered as the foundation, and the pillars are physical structure, medical equipment, human resources, process and instructions, intra- and intrasectorial coordination, information systems, and organizational structure. Having an appropriate model for coping with radiation incidents is pivotal for hospitals active in areas with nuclear centers. Undoubtedly, existence of an effective and comprehensive model could reduce the consequences of radiation crises.
