GB 16388-1996

This standard establishes the diagnostic criteria and management principles for subacute radiation sickness resulting from external exposure to ionizing radiation. It is applied in occupational health and clinical settings to identify and treat individuals, such as nuclear industry workers or medical personnel, who have received prolonged or fractionated doses of radiation over weeks to months. The standard guides medical professionals in diagnosing the condition based on clinical symptoms, hematological changes, and exposure history, and outlines appropriate treatment and follow-up protocols.
