21st International TLD Dosimetry Symposium

["Paul E Ruhter/RUH/CC01/INEEL/US" <RUH@INEL.GOV>]

"Addressing Unprecedented Dosimetry Changes Through Innovation and

Collaboration"



Dosimetry has changed dramatically in the last 20 years.  This year, the

21st

International TLD Symposium (sponsored by Panasonic) will address topics

and

feature interactive sessions for the dosimetry community to help each other

dealing with rapid changes.  Meeting dates and location are set as follows:



Dates:  Monday, June 3 through Friday, June 7, 2002



Location: The Cavalier Hotel at Virginia Beach, VA



The symposium has always been a perfect opportunity to meet and network

with

your peers from the " Dosimetry Community".  This year we are making a

special effort to encourage active participation by everyone with an

interest in external radiation dosimetry ?  program managers, dosimetry

technicians, regulatory and accreditation agency representatives,

administrative and scientific support personnel, manufacturers and vendors,

and end users/customers of dosimetry service providers. To accomplish this

we have redesigned the format and content from that used in previous years.

Some of the new features will include:



(1)   Topics of sessions and presentations are expanded to attract a

broader

audience.  Participants will learn of current developments on topics of

general interests in the main  (plenary) sessions and will be encouraged to

share and exchange information personal experiences through interactive

breakout sessions.



(2)   Hands-on training will be offered to help professionals accomplish

day-to-day assignments more efficiently in the rapidly changing

environment.





(3)   Program managers, technicians, QA/QC personnel, administrative

support

staff, manufacturers and vendors, regulatory and accreditation agencies,

and

end users receiving dosimetry services can each find specially targeted and

customized sessions to attend.



(4)   The registration fee has been slashed down to only $49.



(5)   A special full-day training session (boot camp) will be brought back

this year for new entrants to learn all the TLD basics as well as to serve

as a refresher course for veteran professionals.
