Anotation

New IEEE Standard - Active - Draft.
This standard provides training requirements as part of the capabilities of public safety agencies to detect, analyze, and report on nuclear and other radioactive materials that are out of regulatory control. This standard describes training requirements applying across a wide range of agencies, governments, and the private sectors conducting the preventive radiological/nuclear detection (PRND) mission to reduce the risk of terrorist or covert state-sponsored attacks using radiological or nuclear weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). The scope of this standard includes the capabilities for prevention and protection mission areas, but not those for mitigation, response, and recovery mission areas. The scope includes core capability for screening, search, and detection. This standard specifies how PRND instruments are used in the mission areas. This standard does not include the capabilities specific to nuclear safeguards, security of nuclear facilities, or nuclear forensics. Consideration of radiation detection instrumentation used for the PRND mission areas is part of the training requirements. Radiation detection instruments used primarily for other missions and capabilities (e.g., response and recovery mission areas) may have some applications for PRND mission areas and capabilities.
