Emergency Response Services

The Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS) at the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) is a deployable, U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA) asset that is on-call 24 hours a day/seven days a week to offer expertise on managing the medical component of a radiation incident.

Environmental Assessments and Health Physics

Performing environmental assessments and independent verification is essential to building public trust and confidence in radiological cleanup. As the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and other government agencies target contaminated sites across the country for decontamination and decommissioning, strict guidelines must be followed to ensure that property is effectively remediated before being released for public or private use.
