i am pleased to be here to discuss the efforts to prevent a dirty bomb attack on a us port. preventing the smuggling of aa nuclear radiological device into the us is understandably and deservedly a top national priority. as we are from the other witnesses there are a wide away a programs and activities at several federal agencies to help address and mitigate this threat. mymy statement focuses on one key aspect of this much larger effort, the covert operations to assess capabilities to detect and interdict the smuggling of nuclear materials and the us. over the years dhs has invested billions to develop, purchase, and apply radiation detection equipment on the nation's borders as well as equip and train personnel on how to use the technology. they have invested substantially less on testing to see whether it is being properly used. for example, over five years cvp spent 1 million for covert testing, and that covered all types of covert testing, not just nuclear radiological. it is important to give them credit, through much of that time and up to the present day they are only

ports of entry. basically this is a real world test of the equipment and the personnel using it. e found the cvp's testing provided limited assessment of its rad nuke detection capabilities. specifically, the number of covert tests was not sufficient to make a generalizable assessment of all u.s. ports of entry. over an eight-year period cvp conducted covert tests at 86 of the 655 locations where testing could have been done. in addition, cvp's decisions on which locations to test were not based on risk assessments. that meant its covert testing did not prioritize the most dangerous materials, most vulnerable locations, and in most critical equipment. for example, 31% of cvp's tests were done not at points of entry. cvp is in the process of doing that. we also reviewed what cvp did the results of its covert tests. over a five-year period these tests found problems with officer compliance, equipment failure, and officer error due to lack of training. the good news is cvp followed up to ensure corrective actions were taken. however they did not consistently track the status of actio
