Training
SRNL’s scientific and radiation experts train first-line law enforcement, emergency management, and government agency personnel to safely perform chemical, biological, and radiation detection and quantification in the event of criminal mishandling or a criminal misuse of these materials
Training includes
The threat
Concepts of chemical and biological agents, and of radiation and radioactive material
Proper detection devices
Proper search techniques including safety techniques
Hands-on activities, practical exercises and realistic scenarios

Radiological Response
Regional Reachback
SRNL supports the DHS Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) Preventative Radiation/Nuclear Detection mission by providing specialized scientific expertise in timely State/local radiation detector alarm adjudication.
Partner Labs: SRNL, ORNL/Y-12, BNL & EML
Coordinated through the DNDO Joint Analysis Center (JAC) to provide rapid technical and operational interpretation
