Each Isotope Crossroads tabletop exercise (TTX) is designed to promote information sharing, joint situational awareness, team building, and problem resolution in a crisis response situation. Participants include representatives from Federal, State, and Local law enforcement and emergency response agencies, public health organizations, transportation companies, and radiological material producing companies. Each TTX scenario is customized to the specific location and challenges participants to work together in a complex weapon of mass destruction scenario involving Category 1 and 2 radiological materials during commercial transit. Specific transportation routes, transportation company response procedures, various types and quantities of radiological materials transported through the local area of responsibility will be explored.
