This course is oriented towards physicians, health physicists, other health care providers and emergency planners and is designed to update, as well as provide a review of the management of radiation accidents. The emphasis o f the course is to provide interaction between various groups who might participate in management of such accidents. We have elected to limit course enrollment to facilitate interpersonal communication. The workshops are also designed to encourage parInternational Hot Air This meeting has been planned to coincide with the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. It is one of the worlds most photographed events. When 500 7-story-high hot air balloons in dazzling colors fill the mile-high Albuquerque skies, it is a spectacle to be remembered forever. In 1985 the Fiesta will celebrate its 14th year. Pilots and spectators come from all over the world to enjoy the delights of the 9-day event in a friendly multi-cultural southwestern setting. As a special feature of this meeting participants will be bussed to view this amazing spectacle (Saturday morning). Re istration fees are: $225.00 Regular Registration (after September Your registration fee includes all program materials, the luncheons o n Thursday and Friday, the reception Thursday evening, transportation to and from the Friday afternoon tours and t o and from the Balloon Fiesta (Saturday morning).

Sandia National Laboratories Sandia National Laboratories operates major research nuclear reactor and electrodion beam facilities for OWce of Military Application and Office of Inertia Fusion programs. At each facility various research and development activities are conducted relating to nuclear weapon systems, non-nuclear weapon systems, advanced nuclear reactors, nuclear fusion, and other basic and applied research areas. Operated by Sandia National Laboratories for the US. Department of Energy (DOE), the Central Receiver Test Facility (CRTF) is a major test facility for developing technology to produce electricity from the heat of the sunenergy that someday will be commercially competitive with other energy sources. The primary goal of the CRTF is to provide experimental engineering data for the design, construction, and operation of unique components and systems in proposed solar thermal electric plants planned for large-scale power Lovelace Inhalation Toxicology Research Institute The mission of the Lovelace Inhalation Toxicology Research Institute is to address significant problems that concern the effects of airborne noxious particles and gases on man and his environment, particularly those materials that may be produced in meeting man’s energy needs. The ultimate goal is to develop information that will aid in defining for man the complex relationship between levels of exposure in the work place or environment the dose to critical tissues from inhaled material and the nature and incidence of diseases induced by the inhaled materials. Such information is essential for estimating the health costs and emission control costs required for realistic cost-benefit assessments of alternative 500 p.m. Return to Hotel Buses depart for the world-famed Albuquerque International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta.
