In 2016, 143 incidents involving nuclear or other dangerous materials were identified in 19 nations that were not under regulatory control. The purposeful or accidental release of CBRNE materials is a low-probability occurrence with potentially substantial societal consequences. The European Union (EU) has charged the INCLUDING project consortium, which includes 15 partners from ten EU Member States, with tackling this issue and developing an innovative cluster for dealing with radioactive and nuclear (RN) emergency training. INCLUDING will give extensive training in the RN security industry, with a concentration on first responder roles. The formulation of radiological and nuclear training learning objectives is a crucial aspect of this undertaking. Partners reviewed 5 EU HORIZON 2020 and 9 EU FP7-SECURITY programmes, as well as 97 RN training courses given to the worldwide community by NATO, EU organisations, US military and civilian agencies, Qatar, and the International Atomic Energy Agency for this purpose (IAEA). These findings are presented in this study, and they are being utilised to create the fundamental framework for the Learning Objective Catalogue (LOC), which may be employed in a variety of threat situations. Joint Actions (field testing and table-top exercises) implemented in Finland, France, Greece, and Italy further show the LOC's practical implementation. This involves the use of unmanned aerial and ground vehicles, as well as virtual reality, a network of automated spectrometric detectors installed on public transportation, and 3D modelling.
