Bethesda, Md., November 25, 2009—Scientists from the Iraqi Ministry of Science and Technology are shown outside the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) where, on November 20, 2009, they toured the facility and attended a seminar on the Institute’s high-throughput dicentric analysis program. They were accompanied by AFRRI representatives and University of Maryland officials.
The Iraqi scientists were in the United States for a course at the University of Maryland on the use of linear accelerators and their advantages over cobalt sources for research. Earlier in the week at the University’s College Park campus, AFRRI Radiation Safety Officer Anna Teachout provided instruction on radiation safety associated with linear accelerator operations.
