8 A.M. - 5 P.M. each day

Course length: 14 hours.  This course is designed to train the Preventive Radiological/Nuclear Detection (PRND) mission using a radio-isotope identification device (RIID) to perform a secondary radiological assessment. Secondary Screeners operate RIIDs to detect radiation, verify the alarm, localize the source of radiation, measure the radiation level, identify radioactive isotopes, and assess the threat status of detected material. Participants employ the RIID to help adjudicate potential threats regarding situations with people, vehicles, packages, and facilities. This course uses sealed radioactive sources that are representative of the types of radioactive material which may be encountered in the public domain. Additionally, participants gain knowledge working with technical reachback assistance.

Target Audience:
     • Law enforcement
     • Fire service
     • Hazardous materials
     • Search & rescue
     • Transportation security
     • Others who perform duties as a secondary screener
