Abstract
In recent years, potential health hazards associated with tritium radiation have received increased attention. The medical emergency response to tritium-related accidents requires highly specialized and technical expertise with broad coverage and significant impact. In China, nuclear- and radiation-related laws and regulations have a complete emergency system and rescue management plan for dealing with such emergencies. These provisions, combined with the specific characteristics of tritium radiation accidents, underscore the need for the implementation of a medical emergency response. This Account presents guiding opinions for the medical emergency response and management of tritium-related accidents by introducing a three-level rescue system and analyzing medical rescue and psychological assistance for people exposed to tritium in such accidents.
