[ RadSafe ] Fwd: MWCHPS - New Dinner Meeting Announcement

[Jeff Terry]

The RadSafe mailing list honors all requests from my favorite regulators in the world and they have asked me to remind everyone of the upcoming Midwest Chapter of the Health Physics Society dinner meeting. 

Looks like a very interesting topic for those in the midwest, see below.

IEMA is the best ; ) 

I hope that they received my annual payment for my x-ray sources by now, but given the speed at which most universities part with money, I think that the best I can say is the check is in the mail.

How come no one ever invites me to dinner?

Jeff

She is the project and technical lead for revision of the 1992 Protective Action Guides (PAGs) and has special interest in emergency worker dose limits and turnback levels.

> Topic:
> EPA’s Protective Action Guides and Lessons from Liberty RadEx and the Gulf Oil Spill
>  
> EPA encourages radiological emergency planners to use the most current protective action guidance and tools available.  The 1992 Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions is still in use, and a revision will be published for public review and comment this year.  In April 2010, EPA sponsored a full-scale RDD field exercise (Liberty RadEx) and immediately afterward began its response to the Gulf oil spill.  Lessons identified during those activities are being used to improve disaster preparedness efforts at EPA and with key federal, state, tribal, and local partners.
