Two types of "severe accidental irradiation" can be schematically described: high dose localized irradiations and accidental total body overexposure. Actually, these two pathologies may coexist, and may be associated with external or internal radioactive contamination, and with all the "catastrophe medicine" syndromes. For high dose localized irradiation, physicians must manage as well as possible complex surgical procedures which unfortunately cannot always avoid being mutilating. For total body overexposure, haematological problems are at the forefront. In according with various situations, hematological growth factors or even allogeneic bone marrow transplantation will be discussed in specialized haematology (and transplant) units. The optimal management of severe accidental irradiation victims implies a close--and rapidly organized--cooperation between general practitioners, firemen, intensive care units, radiopathologists, specialist surgeons (hand and burns) and haematologists.
