Please note the following error: On Slide 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”.
