Training course on preparedness and response for nuclear or radiological emergencies
Course: September 15-19, 2008
Background
Following the deficiencies in national, regional and international arrangements in the response to the Chernobyl accident on April 26, 1986, the whole concept of off-site nuclear emergency management has been reviewed in depth at international, European and national level since then.
The project EURANOS (European approach to nuclear and radiological emergency management and rehabilitation strategies) has been launched under the European Commissions' EURATOM 6th Framework Programme. It brings together best practice, knowledge and technology to enhance the preparedness in Europe to any radiation emergency and for long term rehabilitation. It aims also at maintaining and enhancing knowledge and competence through emergency exercises, training and education, thus fostering best practice in emergency response. TRBAS1 is the first course in a series to address these issues.
