This would include, for example, a civilian exposed to residual radiation from a nuclear weapon test or a non-detonation incident during a military operation.

• Ensure the patient is explicitly documented as a civilian and the event is linked to a military operation involving nuclear weapons.
• Verify that the encounter is the initial treatment for the specific condition arising from this event.
• Consider additional codes for the specific injury or illness sustained (e.g., radiation sickness, burns, psychological trauma).
