By testing radiation detection equipment and helping establish national and international standards, a team of Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers protects the people who keep the nation safe. The Graduated Rad/Nuc Detector Evaluation and Reporting program fulfills a Congressional mandate to set capability standards and establish a test and evaluation program for radiation and nuclear detectors. "The basic idea is to ensure that we identify the functional limitations of radiological and nuclear detection equipment," said Pete Chiaro, who leads numerous international and American National Standards Institute standards committees. "A key goal is to make sure our soldiers and front line officers have what they need to keep them and us safe."
