The purpose of this Manual is to provide the On-Scene Commander and his or her planning staff with a single, comprehensive document that summarizes procedural guidance, technical information, and DoD responsibilities for responding to an accident involving nuclear weapons. The NARP also describes the substantial resources in other Federal Agencies that can be made available to assist in the response effort. This Manual should be widely disseminated and made available to all commanders and staff who may be called upon to respond to a nuclear weapon accident. It should serve as a guide for more detailed planning for nuclear weapon accident response, and can be used to improve training and exercise programs. Fascinating snapshot in time as the world was transitioning from the Cold War to a world of proliferation/nuclear terrorism risk. This manual consolidates procedural guidance and technical information to assist DoD forces in preparing for nuclear weapon accident response and in responding to a DoD nuclear weapon accident. The document is designed to standardize where appropriate and integrate DoD methods with Department of State (DoS) procedures, the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP), and DoE Accident Response Group (ARG) responsibilities/ procedures. Portions of the document may be useful to DoD elements responding to non-DoD radiological accidents or incidents under current interagency support agreements. This manual is designed to furnish a general approach to nuclear weapon accident response. The procedures must be used in conjunction with DoD directives, Federal instructions, State/ local plans, international/ bilateral agreements and theater policy to be effective. Condition: Good.
