CX-020393: Nuclear Forensics Deployment Team Training

The proposed action plans, prepares, coordinates, ships materials off-site, observes, and completes radiological response training at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) locations. The proposed action furnishes a training environment for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to test field team measurements, sample handing and contamination control equipment, and assess simulated radioactive fallout. This Radiological Dispersion Device (RDD) Exercise is designed to train participants in near real life radiological environments. The proposed action uses glass samples containing relatively short-lived radioactive isotopes to simulate radioactive fallout about 48 to 96 hours after an incident. Preparing these glass samples at INL is covered in environmental checklist (EC) INL-14-088 (OA 18). Sealed sources may also be used.
