Symposium on Mixed and Low-Level Radioactive Waste



Pearl River Hilton, Pearl River, NY; Thursday, October 25, 2001



We are pleased to invite you to a special meeting, sponsored by the

International Isotope Society (IIS), and the IIS Low Level Radioactive

Waste (LLRW) committee. The meeting will include speakers from

regulatory, university and other research institutions. Their talks will

focus on the current status of regulatory issues and treatment

technology for mixed and low-level radioactive waste, especially related

to pharmaceutical and

biomedical research. The primary focus of the meeting will be waste

containing tritium or carbon-14.

The meeting will be held at the Pearl River Hilton, in Pearl River, NY,

on October 25, 2001. Registration and continental breakfast will begin

at 7:30 a.m. The presentations will start at 8:00 a.m. and end by 3:30

p.m. Please note that this is a distinct and separate function from the

19th Meeting of the IIS Northeast Chapter which you might be attending.

The regular IIS scientific program will commence immediately after the

Mixed and LLR Waste Symposium. To attend the "Symposium on Mixed and

Low-Level Radioactive Waste", please complete the appropriate sections

of the registration form and return it. The registration fee of $80.00

includes morning and afternoon refreshments and a buffet lunch on

October 25.



The difficulties associated with managing mixed waste have had a

significant negative impact on our type of work, and are

greatly influencing the future health of life sciences research with

radioisotopes. Similarly the unpredictable LLRW picture has

caused projects to be curtailed or terminated. We hope that this meeting

will provide up-to-date information on regulatory issues

and technology for dealing with the challenges of these problems. We are

looking forward to a very stimulating symposium and

your help in developing sensible solutions to two major industry

problems. Please contact Philip Williams at 510-486-7336

PGWilliams@lbl.gov or Larry Weaner at 215-628-5604 LWeaner@prius.jnj.com

if you have questions.
