SC 2-2: Key Decision Points and Information Needed by Decision Makers in the Aftermath of a Nuclear or Radiological Terrorism Incident

The first meeting was held on October 29-30, 2007 and a review of the scope statement was completed. Committee members discussed the significant difference in the activities decision makers would be confronted with given an incident which involved a radiological dispersal device (RDD) or an improvised nuclear device (IND) or a nuclear weapon detonation. The next meeting of the Committee was scheduled for February 19-21, 2008 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The second meeting of the Committee was held on February 19-21, 2008. The Committee reviewed a number of presentations by Committee members that were relevant to the Committee’s charter. Using these presentations as discussion points the Committee defined the path forward for its report. The Committee continued to weigh the issue of how to best provide the reader what the Committee feels are significant differences between an RDD incident and an event in which a nuclear device is detonated. A revised outline of the report was developed and writing assignments were made for the next meeting to be held on April 16-17, 2008 in Bethesda, Maryland. In addition, the Committee will also look at other NCRP reports being prepared (or in final review) to ensure that the most current information is available to be included in the report. Other reference material continues to be published that impacts the scope and depth of the report. A challenge for SC 2-2 is to maintain currency with all the information being published on the subject of nuclear and/or radiological terrorism and how that information could impact the report.
