Write a paper on a radiation/nuclear incident.  (EXCEPT Chernobyl): See APA Template for naming and alignment. Two attempts will be allowed if necessary. Your SafeAssign Originality Report percentage should be below 30%. If above 30% the work will not be graded because it will be considered not your original work. This is a violation of the University Honor Code and is at the instructor's discretion to report.
