DOE Radiological Assistance Program (RAP) Team – DOE RAP teams are located at various DOE Operations Offices, Site Offices, and National Laboratories. They can be dispatched to a radiological incident from Regional DOE Offices in response to a radiological incident. RAP teams provide first-responder radiological assistance to protect the health and safety of the general public, responders, and the environment and to assist in the detection, identification and analysis, and response to events involving radiological/nuclear material. Deployed RAP teams provide traditional field monitoring and assessment support as well as a search capability.
