Radiological Emergency Planning: Terrorism, Security, and Communication

The Radiological Emergency Planning: Terrorism, Security, and Communication course will be held July 25-29, 2016 in Boston, Massachusetts. The course is a Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Executive and Continuing Professional Education program.
