DOE-SC, Germantown, Maryland

Homepage | Registration | Timeline

The 2014 DOE Accelerator Safety Workshop (ASW) will be held at DOE-SC Germantown on August 5-7, 2014. The intent is to share experience and gain consensus on how safety systems are efficiently applied to accelerator facilities. The workshop atmosphere is informal and open discussion is encouraged. The first workshop held at Fermilab led to the creation of the Accelerator Safety Order Guidance DOE G420.2-1. Equal participation from DOE and contractor organizations is encouraged.

Continuing Education Units (CEU's) have been requested from the American Board of Health Physics (ABHP) and others. Attendance at the 2014 Accelerator Safety Workshop has been granted 15 CEC by the ABHP and assigned ID 2014-08-001.
