Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC)
 The Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC)
gathers radiological information such as plume and deposition
predictions, air and ground concentrations, exposure rates and dose
projections, assurance of data quality, and current meteorological
conditions and weather forecasts. FRMAC provides the results of the data
collection, sample analysis, evaluations, assessments, and
interpretations to the key decision makers in the affected areas of the
emergency. Monitoring continues until all of the surrounding areas where
radioactivity was released are fully evaluated.
The FRMAC is one of the emergency response resources, or assets,
administered by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)
Nevada Site Office. The Federal government maintains an extensive
response capability for radiological monitoring and assessment. In the
unlikely event of a major radiological incident, the full resources of
the U.S. government will be coordinated to support state, local and
Tribal governments. The efforts of 17 Federal agencies are coordinated
under the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) to
integrate the Federal response to a radiological emergency.
