The Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors (CRCPD) has published an update on the Radiological Operations Support Specialist (ROSS) Program, which was created to fill a gap in radiation emergency preparedness and response in the nation. ROSS was created in a joint effort of the Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration, National Urban Security Technology Laboratory of the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate, and Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The program has been busy over the last few months and the update shares some important developments in the management of the current cadre of ROSS. The update is available on page 9 of the October 2020 issue of the CRCPD's Newsbrief.
