   Dear Radsafers:
     
   Posted below is an announcement about a Basic Radiological Health 
   Course that is being offered by the Baltimore-Washington Chapter of the 
   Health Physics Society.
     
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
                    BASIC RADIOLOGICAL HEALTH COURSE

   This two day course, offered by the Baltimore-Washington Chapter of the 
   Health Physics Society, Inc., is designed to cover the fundamentals of 
   radiation science and health physics.  It is excellent as an entry-level 
   course for radiation workers, as a review for health physics technicians,
     
and
   as a means of familiarizing lawyers, secretaries and support staff with
the
   basic aspects of radiation physics and protection.
     
        WHEN:   February 10-11, 1997, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
     
        WHERE:  National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
