Field exercise demonstrates operational validation of radiological survey protocols across military teams, highlighting key practical lessons for environmental radiation sampling.
In Brief The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has held its first-ever large-scale radiological exercise employing unsealed radioactive sources. The objective of the exercise was to validate NATO protocols on radiological sampling and surveying. However, the exercise also proved to be a valuable training opportunity and was highly instructive to all involved. This paper highlights the lessons learned from this exercise, particularly in the areas of radiation survey equipment and techniques, sampling techniques, and field measurements. NATO’s large-scale radiological exercise provides valuable experience for involved teams, exercise umpires, and organizers.
