Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC)
Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) : The FRMAC "gathers radiological information such as plume and deposition predictions, air and ground concentrations, exposure rates and dose projections, assurance of data quality, and current meteorological conditions and weather forecasts. FRMAC provides the results of the data collection, sample analysis, evaluations, assessments, and interpretations to the key decision makers in the affected areas of the emergency. Monitoring continues until all of the surrounding areas where radioactivity was released are fully evaluated. The FRMAC is one of the emergency response resources, or assets, administered by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Nevada Site Office. The Federal government maintains an extensive response capability for radiological monitoring and assessment. In the unlikely event of a major radiological incident, the full resources of the U.S. government will be coordinated to support state, local and Tribal governments. The efforts of 17 Federal agencies are coordinated under the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) to integrate the Federal response to a radiological emergency".
