TSUNAMI Tutorial
June 2004 - Pittsburg, PA
A six-hour public tutorial on TSUNAMI was given over two days at the Annual Meeting of the American Nuclear Society in June 2004. The session was organized and chaired by Sedat Goluoglu. The presenters were Sedat Goluoglu, Calvin Hopper, and Brad Rearden. The slides presented during this tutorial are available for viewing with the links given below.
