Welcome to Scentczar Corporation’s Second Radiological Dispersion Device and Nuclear Event Symposium. As we organize this second symposium our military is again, as in the 1940’s and 1950’s, preparing for potential action on a nuclear battlefield. Terrorist plans and intentions involving Radiological Dispersion Devices (RDDs) or small nuclear weapons continue to threaten our homeland. Our Second Radiological Dispersion Device and Nuclear Event Symposium will update participants on these two evolving threats and response strategies including government organization, ranging from international efforts involving our US State Department to local government organizations, response planning, hardware and software tools for military responders and first responders, and innovative medical technology and response planning. The second symposium will again cover the areas: threat, response tools, and medical response, during a three-day symposium in Richmond Virginia. Symposium proceedings will be made available in a convenient compact disk format.

Opportunities to Participate
Interested parties may participate through attendance, various levels of sponsorship, or by presenting papers, posters, or exhibitor displays. We will again host a speaker’s dinner and networking reception in the exhibitor and poster display area. Our goal again this year will be to foster one-on-one interactions between members of the response community by providing frequent breaks with refreshment in the exhibitor and poster display area.

Our Experience with the First Symposium
Last year we were able to bring together 173 professionals from federal agencies, state, and local government, hardware, software, decontamination systems, and medical vendors. We had 25 excellent technical papers from government and industry covering both Homeland Security and DOD plans and activities. We had one sponsor, 14 exhibitors, and a full house of poster boards. We received overwhelmingly positive comments that lead us to believe this Second Radiological Dispersion Device and Nuclear Event Symposium will prove highly relevant to the community.
