"The NDPC consists of the National Center for Biomedical Research and Training - Academy of Counter-Terrorist Education (NCBRT-ACE) at Louisiana State University (LSU), The Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (EMRTC) at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMIMT), U.S. Department of Energy's Counter Terrorism Operations Support (CTOS) at Nevada Test Site (NTS), and the National Emergency Response and Rescue Training Center (NERRTC) at Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX). Each member of the Consortium specializes in a subject area that addresses one of the following: chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives. New Mexico Tech, for instance, focuses its training on explosive devices. At present, the NDPC forms the core of TEI/TO's training program. Its members are responsible for training the bulk of the responders who go through TEI/TO's program".
