Since its inception over 26 years ago3, NARAC (the National Atmospheric
Release and Advisory Center) has used measurement data to update model
predictions of radioactive releases from known origins. NARAC continues to
routinely participate in emergency response drills with organizations that collect air concentration, ground deposition, and radiation exposure measurements. From a complementary perspective, NARAC is now developing an advanced
capability to combine models and data from monitoring systems to characterize and forensically reconstruct atmospheric release events of unknown origin.
