recognized superior technical backgrounds with varied experience in high

consequence operations (qualities sought after in the selection process are provided in

section 1.4). These members are added to the NESSG to provide a more diversified

perspective on NES Studies. Therefore, NESSG senior technical advisors shall have

distinctly different qualification requirements than other NESSG members and chair.

Senior technical advisors shall be provided general orientation training on nuclear

explosive operations and the NES Study process prior to assignment to an NESSG.

Following completion of this orientation training, the Operations Officer Manager, or

designee, shall formally certify the senior advisors. This consists of verifying that the

individual has met the qualification requirements. This certification is valid for one

year and must be current at the time an NESSG activity convenes.
