RE: Help for Radiation Accidents



Peter,

208-526-1515 is the DOE Idaho Operations Office 24 hr. Warning Control
Center (WCC).  That number will get you in contact with the DOE Region 6
Radiological Assistance Program.  The Regional Response Coordinator for the
Region 6 RAP Team is Steve Morreale, 208-526-0199.

REAC/TS is the DOE Medical Response and Training site for radiological
emergencies.  REAC/TS responds to radiological medical emergencies
worldwide.  The 24hr. number is (423) 481-1000.  You will get the Methodist
Medical Center where you need to ask for REAC/TS assistance.
