Jeffrey Wilkes; Alejandro Garcia Subject: Radiation Detection for Nuclear Security Summer School Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is please to offer a new summer school course that emphasizes the needs for radiation detection in nuclear security. We will provide students with a unique understanding of nuclear security challenges faced in the field and expose them to the technical foundations, analyses, and insight that will be required by future leaders in technology development and applications relevant to nuclear security missions. The course will heavily emphasize laboratory and field demonstrations, including direct measurements of special nuclear material, and student will attend seminars given by top experts in the field. This summer school is a 2-week program (June 11-22, 2012) that combines lectures, real-world technology demonstrations, and tours of operational facilities with relevance to nuclear security. Attached is an information flyer and application for attending the summer school. Please distribute to any interested students in your research group or classes. There is no charge for the course, but students are responsible for transportation to and from the class, meals, and lodging. Information on local airports, rental agencies, transportation and available lodging will be provided to any interested students. Please note that the Nuclear Security Summer School is open to US Citizens only. The deadline to apply is March 1, 2012 If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. _______________________________________ James (Jim) Baciak Engineer RADIATION DETECTION & NUCLEAR SCIENCES Pacific Northwest National Laboratory 902 Battelle Boulevard P.O.
