2007 OSC Readiness Training Program Evaluation Report RadNET Deployables Instructors: Dan Askren, EPA National Air and Radiation Environmental Laboratory Michael Messer, EPA ORIA This basic 4-hour training course focused on the use and requirements for deploying RadNET, a nationwide environmental radiation monitoring system, during or after a radiological event. RadNET, previously called Environmental Radiation Ambient Monitoring System, supports the Agency’s role in assessing the impacts of a radiological incident and focuses on monitoring potential impacts on populations and public health. “Fixed” stations routinely sample drinking water, precipitation, and milk; and provide continuous air monitoring. “Deployable” stations may be used after an emergency to improve air monitoring coverage over large areas. The hands-on training covered placement, setup, operation, and disassembly of the RadNet Deployable air monitoring units. Participants received training in the following areas: • Overview of how and where deployables will be used during an emergency. • Health and safety considerations for personnel deploying the monitors. • Basics of radiation detection. • Overview of siting and placement criteria. The instructional methodology for this course consisted of lecture and a hands-on exercise. The target audience for this course was RSC staff with little or no radiological experience and who are willing and able to undertake field work.
