Please click on the buttons below to launch the course in a new window, in both English and French versions. Due to the discontinuation of Flashplayer, the course plays as a video. Transcripts of the narration which are mentioned in the video are linked beside the corresponding course rather than within the course itself.

Please note the following error: On screen 14, we define the milliSievert (mSv) as one one-millionth (1/1,000,000) of a Sievert, which is incorrect. A milliSievert is equal to one one-thousandth (1/1000) of a Sievert. Also, in the English course the title on Slide 19/25 should read “Acute Exposure”.
