Accelerator Radiation Protection Course in Erice, Sicily
Vaclav "Vashek" Vylet
Graham Stevenson
An accelerator radiation protection course has been approved by the Director of the Ettore Majorana Center in Erice, Sicily. The center has already printed and distributed about 250 posters to institutions worldwide and early registrations have been received.
Please find below basic information and the program of the course. Further details, including registration forms, are available at the course web site. A more elaborate site is being set up at CERN, which will be linked to the site above when it is ready.
This will be a very interesting course in an exciting environment. We hope that many of you will register!
