While an extensive force of Camp Lejeune Marines began deploying for a potential war with Iraq — local, state and federal officials gathered at the Marine Corps base to discuss a plan for responding to a nuclear emergency.
Firefighters, law enforcement officers and emergency personnel, all part of the Military and Civilian Task Force for Emergency Response, attended Saturday’s workshop to discuss that possibility with national experts. If the ideas they develop are successful, the project could be used to protect various cities and military installations throughout the country, said Mark Goodman, Onslow County Emergency Services director.
One of the goals is to stop any radiological incidents from happening by developing technology that will detect the material before it reaches the area.
