This Manual provides a concept of operations as well as functional information necessary to execute a comprehensive and unified response to a nuclear weapon accident. It provides information for planners and response elements to understand the overall response concept and roles the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) assume as both Lead Federal Agency (LFA) and as a coordinating or cooperating agency under the NRP.
This Manual assumes that a radiological release has occurred because of a nuclear weapon accident and that consequence management operations are required. This edition of this Manual also provides information on site remediation (SR) activities after an accident involving a nuclear weapon. It does not detail all aspects of SR, but it does define a process by which response organizations may effectively face the challenge of SR. Crisis response operations to respond to a terrorist attack on a U.S. weapon are not addressed in this Manual.
This Manual provides a model response organization reflecting the philosophy and structure used by State and local responders nationwide. It identifies publications and resources used in response efforts, describes the policies and responsibilities outlined in the publications, identifies specific radiological information available in other publications, and provides a basis for developing detailed plans tailored to each Theater of Operations and Response Task Force (RTF) area of operations.
