About this Event

The Modular Emergency Response Radiological Transportation Training (MERRTT) program is designed to take the complex topic of a radiological accident response and break it down into easily understood modules and hands-on practical exercises.

Students will be presented with the training to simplify the topic while developing a comprehensive understanding of radioactive material, radiological survey instruments, decontamination techniques for handling radiologically contaminated victims, and resources available to responders during a response.

An important element of the training is detailed information on the types of packages used to transport radioactive material.

Hours: 18 hours over 2 days

DHS Course #: PER-222

Professional Disciplines:
