Modular Emergency Response Radiological Transportation Training

DESCRIPTION:
This 16-hour training program is designed to take the complex topic of a radiological accident response and break it down into 15 easily understood modules and hands-on practical exercises. Students will receive a comprehensive review ensuring their understanding of radioactive material, radiological survey instruments and decontamination techniques for handling radiologically contaminated victims. Hands-on practical exercises verify the student understanding and knowledge of radiological principles, instrument operation, decontamination techniques and employing radiologically contaminated patient treatment practices is solid. The course includes use of “live” radiation sources in the practical exercises to reinforce learning. Upon successful completion of the MERRTT course students will receive a certificate from the Department of Energy’s Transportation Emergency Preparedness Program, including up to 9.5 hours of continuing education hours (CEH) for medical response personnel.
