Abstract
Under the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP), the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) coordinates all federal off-site radiological assistance to state and local governments in the event of a major radiological emergency in the United States.

This programme includes: (i) aerial radiological monitoring -fixed-wing and helicopter; (ii) field monitoring and sampling; (iii) radioanalysis mobile and institutional laboratories ; (iv) radiation detection instrumentation calibration and maintenance; (v) environmental dosimetry; and (vi) integrated programme of Quality Assurance.
