Reminder About Short Courses in Accelerator Radiation Physics
As announced in a previous article, a one-week course entitled "Radiation Physics, Regulation, and Management" is scheduled to be offered at a session of the U.S. Particle Accelerator School (USPAS) to be held in Madison, Wisconsin, in June 2004. Don Cossairt of Fermilab and Sayed Rokni of Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) will be the instructors. The American Academy of Health Physics (AAHP) has awarded continuing education credits for the course this session.
Also of potential interest to the readers of this newsletter is a related course to be offered the following week entitled "System Safety and Safety Systems for Accelerators." This course will be taught by Kelly Mahoney and Sandra Prior of Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF).
For more information, check the web link for the USPAS. On that web page, one should click on the link for the session in Madison, Wisconsin, for June 21 to July 2, 2004. There one can find the details and the link to the necessary application forms. Other courses taught at the USPAS provide an excellent opportunity for personnel involved in radiation protection at accelerators to learn more about the accelerators themselves.
