Fostering a community of practice through collaboration and knowledge sharing; applying scientific analysis to improve emergency planning and response activities/efforts for hazardous material threats throughout the DOE Enterprise.
What we do
Conduct research and development in methods to assess hazards involving toxic chemicals, radiological emergencies, atmospheric transport of hazardous materials, and biohazard materials.
Apply science to examine the hazards at DOE sites, determine the potential emergencies (especially hazardous material emergencies), identify the extent of negative effects, how the site would recognize them, and the response necessary.
