Brief Description: Secondary Screener/Radiation Isotope Identifier Device - SS/RIID (PER-245) (07-20-003)

Full Description: Course Description
The Secondary Screener/Radiation Isotope Identifier Device (SS/RIID) Course enables law enforcement, fire service, and other response disciplines, assigned to radiation detection secondary screener duties employing a RIID to detect radiation, verify radiation alarms, localize the source of radiation, identify radioactive material, and assess the threat status of detected material. The officer will be trained to employ the RIID to detect  radiation in or on people, vehicles, packages, and/or facilities. Additionally, the officer will be trained to obtain technical assessment and adjudication assistance from federal, state, and/or local reach-back organizations. A variety of small quantity sealed radioactive sources are used in SS/RIID participant activities and practical exercises. These sources are intended to simulate the types of radioactive material that the secondary screener may encounter in the public domain.

Topics Include
Instrument:  IdentiFINDER
Detect and locate the presence of radiation and/or radiological material.  Identify and distinguish among false alarms due to background radiation, alarms due to legitimate causes, and alarms due to illicit radiological/nuclear material.  Measure the approximate radiation level that generated the alarm upon detecting, locating, and assessing the alarm.

The target audience for this course is Law Enforcement, Fire Service, Hazardous Materials (HazMat), Emergency Medical Services, Public Works, and Response personnel assigned to duties employing a RIID. Your agency must have a radiation detection, interdiction, identification program and currently possess the required equipment to attend the course. The New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) reserves the right to determine eligibility for this course.
