PAC 3: Nuclear and Radiological Security and Safety

The new Program Area Committee (PAC) 3 will provide guidance and recommendations for response to nuclear and radiological incidents of both an accidental and deliberate nature. The major elements of reports under the oversight of PAC 3 include: (1) identify important steps to be taken in the interdiction of, preparedness for, and effective responses to possible acts of nuclear and radiological terrorism; (2) define performance requirements, instrumentation, and testing criteria for security surveillance systems; (3) develop operational strategies and optimization procedures for early, intermediate and late-phase responses to a nuclear or radiological incident; (4) recommend effective methods for protecting against, mitigating, and treating traumatic injuries and long-term health and psychological effects of radiation exposure; and (5) analyze methods for optimizing the cleanup, site restoration, and disposition of contaminated materials resulting from a nuclear or radiological incident.

Members of PAC 3 were appointed during the fourth quarter of 2007. The first meeting of the Committee will be held on April 16, 2008 in conjunction with the NCRP Annual Meeting.

The membership of PAC 3 is:
