Response Radiological Transportation Training  experience can serve as a refresher training course for those students already proficient in radiological response.  It is also an effective introduction to radiological emergency response.

The reliance upon, and use of, radioactive material in agriculture, industry, and medicine continues to increase. As the manufacturing, use, and disposal of radioactive material has increased, so has the need to transport it. Consequently, the potential for responders to encounter an incident involving some type of radioactive material has increased. Having knowledge of radiological hazards, and the terminology used to describe them, will increase the responders’ ability to quickly recognize, safely respond, and accurately relay information during an incident involving radioactive material.
