This standard provides training requirements as part of the capabilities of public safety agencies to detect, analyze, and report on nuclear and other radioactive materials that are out of regulatory control. This standard describes training requirements applying across a wide range of agencies, governments, and the private sectors conducting the preventive radiological/nuclear detection (PRND) mission to reduce the risk of terrorist or covert state-sponsored attacks using radiological or nuclear weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). The scope of this standard includes the capabilities for prevention and protection mission areas, but not those for mitigation, response, and recovery mission areas. The scope includes core capability for screening, search, and detection. This standard specifies how PRND instruments will be used in the mission areas. The scope does not include the capabilities specific to nuclear safeguards, security of nuclear facilities, or nuclear forensics. Consideration of radiation detection instrumentation used for the PRND mission areas is part of the training requirements. Radiation detection instruments used primarily for other missions and capabilities (e.g., response and recovery mission areas) might have some applications for PRND mission areas and capabilities.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
