Homeland Security
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) works hand-in-hand with the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security in ensuring the safety of the United
States and its people. Nuclear or radiological terrorism is a serious
and deadly problem that threatens the vital interests of the United
States and abroad.
The Nevada National Security Site is a primary training ground
for our nation’s weapons of mass destruction responders. Training in a
realistic weapons of mass destruction operations environment is critical
to prepare responders both physically and psychologically for a
terrorist incident.
In addition, NNSA maintains several radiological
emergency response assets. When the need arises, NNSA is prepared to
respond immediately to any type of radiological accident or incident
anywhere in the world.
