The Nuclear Emergency Support Team (NEST) is NNSA’s multi-mission nuclear emergency response capability that leverages the Department of Energy’s world-class scientists and technical experts to contend with the Nation’s most pressing radiological and nuclear challenges. NEST is the umbrella designation that encompasses all DOE/NNSA radiological and nuclear emergency response functions, some of which date back more than 60 years. These include all field-deployed and remote technical support to the Nation’s countering weapons of mass destruction (WMD) operations, including Preventive Nuclear and Radiological Detection (PNRD) and threat-based nuclear search; public health and safety missions, including radiological consequence management; and responses to U.S. nuclear weapon accidents and incidents. Additionally, NEST maintains operational capabilities that enable nuclear forensic analysis of nuclear material used in an improvised nuclear device or interdicted outside of regulatory control. NEST’s motto – “Scientifically Informed, Operationally Focused” – reflects the technical underpinning of its diverse operational missions. NEST is composed of world-class scientists, engineers, emergency managers, and technicians recruited from the National Laboratories, plants, and sites who execute the incident response missions for which DOE and NNSA are responsible. These missions derive from a body of legal statutes, presidential policies, and international agreements that prescribe the Department’s specific roles in responding to various contingencies. NEST’s core competencies includes specialized knowledge of U.S. nuclear weapons, improvised nuclear devices (IND), and radiological dispersal devices (RDDs, or “dirty bombs”). NEST expertise includes, but is not limited to, the following scientific disciplines: spectroscopy, device modeling, radiography, device assessment, atmospheric modeling, radiological environmental monitoring, dose assessment, medical effects of radiation, and technical nuclear forensics. NEST conducts operations in close coordination with federal mission partners, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Defense (DoD), and Department of Homeland Security, as well as state, local, tribal, and territorial governments during crises. As part of its long-term strategy, NEST continues to enhance regional capabilities to conduct time-critical actions to protect the public, key infrastructure, and the environment from nuclear and radiological dangers. Additionally, NEST ensures that cutting-edge technology and scientific innovation are continuously incorporated into its operations. Specific capabilities include the following elements, which can be reached by contacting the Consolidated Emergency Operations Center. The group is known as the Nuclear Emergency Support Team (NEST). It's made primarily of people who work elsewhere in the government—scientists, federal law enforcement personnel, and regulators—who all take time out of their day jobs to prepare for a nuclear incident.2024年10月29日 The group is known as the Nuclear Emergency Support Team (NEST).

The NNSA’s Office of Counterterrorism and Counterproliferation (CTCP) is integral to the U.S. Government’s layered defense against nuclear terrorism and nuclear proliferation. CTCP’s scientific capabilities help provide early threat indications and inform the security of nuclear materials worldwide. Its operational assets are used to locate and defeat terrorist nuclear devices and mitigate the effects of radiological incidents around the globe. This “defense-in-depth” strategy requires adversaries to defeat multiple layers of security to obtain and detonate a nuclear device. NNSA’s nuclear counterterrorism, counterproliferation, and incident response missions harness the Department’s unparalleled command of nuclear science to understand and contend with nuclear threats. CTCP performs three core functions: 

• Preparing for nuclear and radiological incidents and accidents through planning, training, and exercises 
• Countering adversary efforts to acquire and use nuclear capabilities 
• Responding to nuclear and radiological incidents and accidents worldwide
