Preventative Radiological/Nuclear
Detection On-Site (PRNDOS) Program
Detection On-Site (PRNDOS) Program
The three classes listed are being offered as a full week of training for students who are in locations where CTOS cannot train a full complement of students due to not meeting the minimum class size or for jurisdictions who have lost personnel previously trained by CTOS through attrition. Students signing up for this week are required to attend the full suite of classes if accepted to attend.
This one day course focuses on the detection, alarm assessment, locating and mitigation of an event involving radiological/nuclear materials.
This course is designed to train law enforcement and public safety officers to employ department procured and issued backpack radiation detection systems within the bounds of the jurisdiction/agency operational environment, including local instruments, procedures, and legal considerations. The course provides training and extensive hands-on practice with actual radioactive material so that personnel employing a backpack radiation detection system during detection and interdiction missions.
This course is designed to train law enforcement officers, and personnel from other disciplines designated to support law enforcement agencies, to perform radiological/nuclear detection secondary screener duties, through the employment of radiation isotope identifier devices (RIIDs). The course provides training, which includes extensive hands-on practice utilizing actual radioactive material, to enable personnel assigned as secondary screeners to respond effectively to a request for assistance from a primary screener.

Personal Radiation Detector (PRD) Train-the-Trainer (TTT) Course
The PER-243-1 Personal Radiation Detector Train the Trainer (PRD-TTT) Program is designed to train law enforcement and emergency responders to instruct the PER-243 PRD Course. The program consists of the PER-243 PRD Course and the PER-243-1 PRD TTT Course. This operations-level preventative radiological and nuclear detection (PRND) course is delivered at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) to jurisdictions approved by Federal Emergency Management Agency/National Preparedness Directorate (FEMA/NPD) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security State Administrative Agencies (SAA). This course is delivered on an as needed basis via request from approved jurisdictions. Attendees must be part of a regional or statewide program that has developed a comprehensive plan for future delivery of PRD training in their region or state. Such plans require the jurisdiction to show acquisition of training equipment and radioactive source material for replicating training locally. States and UASI regions that have completed their plan and received the required training material will be given priority in scheduling to train additional instructors. Coordination between CTOS and the requesting jurisdiction is required at least eight weeks prior to course delivery.
