The March 2026 Mound Tech Talk is. . . "Response to Nuclear Events" by Brooke Buddemeier
This Tech Talks will be available on Zoom with a watch party at 1075 Mound Road on March 25, 2026 at 7pm.
Topic: Responding effectively to a nuclear detonation requires addressing unique challenges not encountered in other radiation emergencies, such as nuclear power plant incidents or radiological dispersal devices. This lecture leverages insights from extensive assessments conducted by NNSA’s national laboratories and incorporates FEMA’s latest guidance, including:
• Planning Guidance for Response to a Nuclear Detonation, 3rd Edition (2022)
• Nuclear Detonation Response Guidance: Planning for the First 72 Hours (2023)
• Nuclear Detonation Preparedness: Communicating in the Immediate Aftermath (2024)
This lecture will discuss the impacts of a nuclear detonation and demonstrate life-saving strategies, including sheltering, evacuation planning, and effective communication in the aftermath.
