Go on with life


>Are there any courses on emergency planning for nuclear incidents (other 

than the existing nuclear plant scenarios)?<


Yes.  The WIPP ran courses (and still does) and had exercises for all communities along the routes, and I believe Yucca Mountain will do the same.  Oak Ridge runs the RE/ACT program to train emergency responders.  I'm sure there's more.


>Are any radsafers working with governmental organizations (federal or 

state)regarding planning for local terroist events?<


Again, yes.  Sandia recently published a study of possible terrorist attacks on RAM transportation  (Luna, Vigil, and Neuhauser)

.  I'll provide details in the near fututr 

Any other ideas?
