.. . .. . Radiation Safety Officer Bret Walters will be the Radiation Safety Officer. Qualifications: Education: Received a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Physical Science in 1991. All coursework was completed at Minnesota State University, in Bemidji, Minnesota. The post-seconoary coursework completed to obtain the degree included forty-one credits of chemistry, forty credits of physics and thirty-five credits of mathematics. Though many of the courses completed included material related to radiation properties, use and safety, the following courses committed significant amounts of time specifically addressir.g issues associated with radiation: " Radioisotopes"(5 credit course on radioactive-tracer methodology in the biological, chemical, er.vironmental and physical sciences). " Modern Physics" (4-credit course concentrating on quantum and relativistic physics).
