Health Physics in Radiation Emergencies 2024
Health Physics in Radiation Emergencies 2024 is organized by Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) and will be held from Jun 18 - 20, 2024 at Oakridge, Tennessee, United States of America.
Description:
This three-day course is designed primarily for health physicists, medical physicists, radiation safety officers, and others who have radiation dose assessment and/or radiological control responsibilities. The course presents an advanced level of information on radiological/nuclear event reconstruction, dose assessments/estimations, and integration of the physics discipline with medicine.
This opportunity allows for interaction with medical practitioners regarding recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of radiological/nuclear injuries and illnesses. Specific topics include acute local and total body radiation exposure; internal and external contamination; internal and external dosimetry; biodosimetry and bioassay techniques; and public information management.
Demonstrations, exercises, and problem-solving sessions complement classroom lectures. It is highly recommended that participants have an understanding of radiation science before attending this course.
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
