In today’s world it could be called the University for Dirty Bomb Studies.
Founded in 1998, it was a niche at what was then the Nevada Test Site
for emergency responders to learn how to deal with disasters caused by
weapons of mass destruction.
Since then, about 180,000 firefighters, police officers, public
safety officials and hazardous materials technicians from all corners of
the United States have completed courses that teach them how to detect,
prevent and react to an unthinkable act involving radioactive or
hazardous materials to harm civilian populations.
In a few months this Center for Radiological/Nuclear
Training will enter a new, international dimension as police officers
from eastern Europe and elsewhere outside the U.S. descend on a
one-of-a-kind training facility in Area 1 at the Nevada National
Security Site, 85 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
