The H-32 Committee on Computed Tomography is recognized for their enthusiasm and dedication in planning and conducting a second training course for state radiation control x-ray inspectors, this one held in conjunction with the 2011 National Conference on Radiation Control in Austin, Texas. This course provided state personnel with a protocol that may used for conducting surveys at facilities using Computed Tomography as well as hands-on demonstrations at local facilities.
Because of their hard work, CRCPD is able to sponsor a comprehensive hands-on training course for field inspectors. The dedication exemplified by this task force is highly commendable.
