Members of the Oak Ridge-based Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site, including the director Dr. Albert Wiley, were in Baghdad earlier this month to train first responders for medical emergencies involving radiation.
The three-day course (April 11-13) was conducted by the National Nuclear Security Administration (under the sponsorship of the State Dept. and the U.S. Embassy) and hosted by the Iraq Radioactive Source Regulatory Authority. About 40 members of the Iraqi medical community participated. |
