USS Slater hosts radiation detection training

A group of 21 soldiers and airmen tested their ability to find weapons of mass destruction on the USS Slater in Albany last week

Twenty-one soldiers and airmen tested their ability to find weapons of mass destruction on the USS Slater last week.

They used detection equipment to find and mark radioactive material, which other teams then moved and decontaminated.

The teams search and identify radiation sources inside an unfamiliar confined environment each year. The USS Slater in Albany was used for the training this year.
