Yes. But what was your question? There are many issues here. I suggest the 1948 Radiological Defense 4 volume set. See if your library can get all 4 volumes on interlibrary loan (don't accept less, all mine could get was 2 so I had to buy them)! It covers many of these issues.

Following a nuclear detonation will some of the casualties with survivable injuries possibly have radiological contamination?
Triage and treat for most critical injury. If that involves some radiological exposure to medical personal, they will need minor treatment later. Radiological decontamination procedures on burn or blast victims are likely to be more life threatening than original injury.
What course of action would be most appropriate for medical responders after a nuclear detonation resulting in some victims with injuries who are possibly contaminated with radiological material?
After a nuclear detonation, medical or other first responders would first need to:protect themselves from contaminationset up a triage area and triage patientsset up decontamination areasuse decontamination procedurestreat wounds with debridement and sterile dressingsaddress the emotional and psychological needs of wounded and their familiesfollow personnel procedures for decontamination before going off-shiftaddress the emotional and psychological needs of personnel who just completed a shiftrepeat with new shift of personnel, until all wounded are triaged/assessed, decontaminated, treated
Who would serve as the coordinating agency for an incident involving the detonation of an improvised nuclear device?
