NNSA partnered with law enforcement partners across the country, and deployed 200+ Nuclear Emergency Support Team (NEST) professionals to protect the
@FIFAWorldCup in the Department of
@ENERGY's largest-ever preventative radiological and nuclear detection mission.
NEST personnel from the Radiological Assistance Program (RAP) – America’s premier first responder organization for assessing radiological incidents – fanned out across the country to protect World Cup venues using advanced radiation detection systems.
The mission was the result of years of planning with federal, state, local, tribal, and international partners. It was made possible by the dedicated workforce, who left their families and daily roles at labs, plants and sites nationwide to serve. 🇺🇸
