PER-245 provides the Secondary Screener with training to operate Radio-Isotope Identification Devices (RIIDs) to detect radiation, locate the source, measure radiation levels, identify radioactive isotopes, assess the threat status of a situation, and adjudicate the alarms by categorizing threats, performing reachback, and resolving alarms. In addition, Secondary Screeners perform radiological assessments with RIIDs.

Radiation Instruments Employment (PER-355)
 

ILT 1/2-day (4 hrs) Mobile
 

PER-355 applies to both the Prevent and Response mission areas. This class uses a series of drills to reinforce the skills of Emergency Responders previously trained to use radiation detection instruments.
