This course trains emergency responders and non-uniformed support personnel to operate monitoring stations within the Community Reception Center (CRC), or similar reception centers, to perform population monitoring and contamination reduction measures after a radiological or nuclear incident. Examples of incidents that would initiate the establishment of a CRC include a nuclear detonation such as an improvised nuclear device (IND), radiological dispersal device (RDD), an attack on a nuclear power plant (NPP) or other incidents that expose the general population to radioactive contamination.
