Technical Advisory Response Unit

The SNS Program is committed to have 12-hour Push Packages delivered anywhere in the United States or its territories within 12 hours of a federal decision to deploy. The 12-hour Push Packages have been configured to be immediately loaded onto either trucks or commercial cargo aircraft for the most rapid transportation. Concurrent to SNS transport, the SNS Program will deploy its Technical Advisory Response Unit (TARU). The TARU staff will coordinate with state and local officials so that the SNS assets can be efficiently received and distributed upon arrival at the site. 

The Safety Series Review Committee, an internal Secretariat body, will be responsible for ensuring the consistency of all documents and for monitoring the implementation of the safety standards development programme. Chaired by the head of the organizational unit responsible for coordination in the new Department of Nuclear Safety, it will be composed of the Scientific Secretaries of the above-mentioned advisory bodies, the Agency s Chief Editor and the Technical Officer responsible for the document being considered.
