Office of Atoms for Peace Holds Emergency Preparedness Drill in Rayong

               On the first day, participants attended a workshop on the Incident Command System (ICS) alongside a table-top exercise simulating hazardous materials incidents during transportation. The session emphasized situation analysis, role-playing, and decision-making in crisis scenarios, followed by a review to improve response plans and prepare for a full-scale drill.

               On the second day, the training covered key aspects of emergency response, including accidents involving radiation equipment, reporting procedures for suspected radioactive materials, simulated transport incidents involving radioactive substances, zone control, radiation monitoring and assessment, evacuation and victim assistance, as well as communication and reporting within the ICS framework. Participants included personnel from medical, public health, disaster prevention, and radiation safety sectors.

               The results of this exercise will be used to enhance provincial emergency response plans and support an upcoming full-scale drill, aiming to ensure an effective, timely, and well-coordinated response to potential nuclear or radiological incidents.
