The Adjutant General technical and operational advantages critical to radiological monitoring and response readiness. Here are some points as to why:
• All REP field teams and partner agencies currently use RADeCO systems, ensuring compatibility of sampling media, calibration equipment, and training.
• Introducing a different vendor’s system would create inconsistencies in equipment operation, calibration procedures, and spare parts, complicating maintenance and training requirements.
• RADeCO air samplers meet the performance and reliability standards recognized under FEMA’s
Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program and NRC guidance for environmental sampling.
• Using consistent, proven instrumentation supports the documentation and defensibility of results during FEMA evaluated exercises and real-world incidents.
• RADeCO samplers have a long history of dependable operation under field conditions, including in the desert environments typical of Arizona.
• The units are durable, easy to service, and compatible with existing filter media that we already have in inventory and counting systems used for lab analysis.
• Existing procedures, documentation, and emergency deployment plans are built around the
RADeCO system.
• Maintaining that continuity ensures operational readiness without the need for extensive revalidation or procedural revision.
