NNSA’s Consequence Management Team today participated in the second nationwide RadResponder drill during a regional tabletop exercise simulating an improvised nuclear device (IND) at the 45th annual New England Radiological Health Conference. The RadResponder Network is a FEMA-sponsored cloud-based radiation data collection system, based on NNSA-developed technology, which provides federal, state, local, tribal and territorial response teams and leadership with a standardized service for managing, organizing, analyzing and mapping radiation data.

Participants across the country were able to see the progress live throughout the day. Periodic situation briefings were led by the DOE’s Consequence Management Home Team while analyzing RadResponder data and generating data products summarizing measurements collected in the IND-affected area as well as across the country.
