Radiological Assistance Program (RAP) Mission
Provide first-responder radiological assistance to protect the health and safety of the general public and the environment. Assist other Federal, State, Tribal and local agencies in the detection, identification and analysis, and response to events involving the use of radiological/nuclear material.
5
Radiological Assistance Program
RAP is organized on a regional basis to foster a timely response capability and coordination between DOE and other Federal, State, tribal, and local emergency response elements:
• Eight geographical DOE regions plus a National Capitol Region
• Each DOE region is managed by a Regional Response Coordinator (RRC)

Requesting the MDDU
• Any civil authority, Federal, State, Local or Tribal, may make a request for the MDDU to the regional RAP team. o The RAP team elevates the request to
DOE/NA-42. o The decision to authorize the use of
MDDU assets is then made by DNDO and NA-42.
