TEC - Training Topic Group

The TEC Training and Medical Training Issues Topic Group was formed to address the training issues for emergency responders in the event of a radioactive material transportation incident. The Topic Group first met in 1996 to assist DOE in developing an approach to address radiological emergency response training needs and to avoid redundancy of existing training materials. The group worked with the Transportation Emergency Preparedness Program (TEPP) to review existing training material to determine its applicability, developed a front-end analysis describing an approach, and developed the Modular Emergency Response Radiological Transportation Training (MERRTT). In 1998, the Medical Training Issues Topic Group was formed to address specific medical issues. In 1999, the Medical group reconvened with the original Topic Group.

With the development of the MERRTT complete, the Topic Group is continuing to address distribution/deliver issues, the use of e-commerce in addressing training needs, additional medical training issues, and to address the redundancy of training materials. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Transportation, and Environmental Protection Agency have been invited to participate with the Topic Group to assist in this process.
