Has anybody on RADSAFE participated in this course? Do we know anything about the quality of training with regard to rad issues? The feedback that I've received from a number of state and local folks who've sat in on these "WMD courses" is that they're pretty solid on chem, less so on bio, and ... this is not my opinion, I'm just reporting what I've been told ... woefully inadequate for radiological issues.

Radsafers,
As most of you know by now, the Department of Justice (Justice Programs
Division) offers Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) training for first
responders. See the following site for details: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/odp/
The three-day course is taught right here in "Grits City" (Anniston, AL at
the old Chemical School on the former Fort McClellan). I believe it is funded
by DoJ at no cost to States and Cities sending the students. There is also a
similar school in Nevada, but I know essentially nothing about it.
