Meet America's secret team of nuclear first responders
Briefly

"We are always ready, 24-7, and always prepared to deploy," says Wendin Smith, emphasizing NEST's commitment to respond to nuclear threats at any time.
Rick Christensen stated at the event, "please understand that there is a lot that our people are not going to be able to discuss," highlighting the secrecy surrounding NEST's operations.
NEST's Director noted, "it's made primarily of people who work elsewhere in the government... who all take time out of their day jobs to prepare for a nuclear incident," showcasing the dedication of its members.
Wendin Smith expressed hope that being more open about their mission could "help people feel more assured, as well as deter adversaries who may be out to cause nuclear mayhem."
