Dear National RCA Representatives, I am pleased to inform you that the 2018 RCARO/KAERI Introductory Training Course on Radiation Technology and its Applications will be held on 15 October to 26 October 2018 in Daejeon, Republic of Korea, and is now open for nominations to the Government Parties. This training course, conducted in cooperation with Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), aims to introduce technical and practical knowledge regarding radiation application technology to the RCA GPs. Upon receiving nominations from National RCA Representatives, one or two participants from each GP will be selected based on their capability to utilize the knowledge gained from the training course. In this respect, it is cordially requested that you send us the list of nominees in a priority order.
