Nuclear Weapon Accident Response Procedures (NARP) Manual (February 22, 2005)
This manual was developed by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) under the authority of the
Department of Defense (DOD) Directive (DODD) 3150.8, DOD Response to Radiological Accidents,
June 13, 1996.
The NARP provides Combatant Commanders, Services, Response Task Force (RTF) Commanders and Initial
Response Force (IRF) Commanders with the information necessary to understand the overall response
concept, the role of the IRF and RTF, the relationship of the IRF, RTF, and DOD to other Federal
agencies. This manual also provides guidance in conducting site remediation activities following
an accident involving a nuclear weapon in DOD custody or other types of radiological accidents or
incidents. It assumes a radiological release has occurred and that some remediation of the
environment is required. It is not intended as a comprehensive document to encompass all aspects
of site remediation, but seeks to define a process by which response organizations may effectively
face the initial challenges of site remediation.
