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.
