Module E (Quizlet 1)
Technical Escort - Radiological Operations
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Nuclear Disablement Team operational focus | To conduct site exploitation on nuclear and radiological related infrastructure and facilities in order to support WMD elimination and WMD offensive operations in support of CWMD counter proliferation operations |
| NDT's mission | Rapidly, efficiently exploit & disable nuclear/radiological infrastructure & components outside the continental U.S. in permissive & uncertain environment to deny near-term reuse capability by enemy forces & facilitate follow-on WMD elimination operations |
| NDT capabilities | Operating in CBRN-contaminated enviornments to conduct the recon, exploitation and disablement of radiological/nuclear infrastructure in support of WMD elimination operations, inside an isolated objective |
| NDT capabilities | Operate independently or in conjunction with other technical experts to expedite site exploitation timelines |
| NDT capabilities | Air and ground-based detection systems (access to this capability), exploit radiological and nuclear sites outside the continental US in uncertain environments |
| NDT capabilities | Collect, package and evacuate radiological samples and WMD intelligence for forensic analysis, conduct the characterization and field confirmatory identification of radiological materals |
| NDT capabilities | Advise commander on exposure guidance and transport/safeguard on-site nuclear/radiological material that near term threat to local populace or friendly forces |
| NDT capabilities | Secure potential sources that could be used in radiological dispersal devices and radiation exposure devices |
| What are dependencies of NDTs? | Intel analysis, support, life support, interpreters, technical linguists and area medical support |
| What are dependencies of NDTs? | Area decontamination assets, engineer support, convoy security and logistic support |
| NDTs limitations | Designed to operate OCONUS only, not a first responder unit, not equipped for consequence management operations |
| NDT limitations | Will not recover, render-safe or respond to unconventional weapons |
| Common nuclear plants facilities | Control Rooms, containment building, reactors, turbine building, fuel storage building and cooling towers |
| What are the two common reactor types? | Pressurized water reactor and boiling water reactor |
| Pressurized water reactor definition | Heat is transferred from the primary reactor coolant, which is liquid at high pressure, into a secondary circuit where steam is generated for the turbine |
| Boiling water reactor definition | The steam is separated from the remaining water is steam separators positioned above the core and to the turbines, then condensed and recycled |
| What are the two types of cooling towers? | Mechanical and natural draft |
| What are the functions of a cooling tower? | Remove the latent heat vaporization in the condenser and remove decay heat while the reactor is shutdown |
| Spent duel pool definition | Temporary storage area for months to decades, contains significant radiation hazard near the bottom and water provides radiation shielding and cooling medium |
| Dry casks definition | Stored vertically or horizontally, serves as permanent storage vessels in place of geological repository |
