This course will provide an overview of emergencies combined with other incidents or emergencies, i. e. a nuclear or radiological emergency initiated and/or affected by conventional emergencies, natural events or security. It will discuss potential difficulties, practical examples and challenges that need to be overcome for developing sustainable EPR framework. Upon successful completion of this module, students should be able to: identify nuclear or radiological emergency combined with conventional emergencies; characterize nuclear or radiological emergency combined with natural events; characterize nuclear or radiological emergency combined with security events; characterize nuclear or radiological emergencies involving hazardous materials; establish and organize a HAZMAT team.
