Big 10 RSO Meeting Agenda
We have (finally!) completed putting together the agenda for the upcoming
Big 10 RSO Meeting. We think we have assembled a program with something of
interest for all attendees. If we haven't, I'm sure someone will tell us.
The program features invited presentations by Dr. Paul Ziemer of Purdue
University and Dr. Audeen Fentiman of The Ohio State University. We have
also invited Mr. Mike McCann of NRC Region III to discuss some timely
issues in the area of D&D. In addition, we have a number of presentations
dealing with many practical issues that arise in any large radiation safety
program.
Finally, we have set aside a large block of time on Monday for an exchange
of information among meeting participants. This will give everyone a
chance to mention significant program changes, observations, lessons
learned, and anything else that might be of interest from your program. In
addition to the round table discussion, we have also scheduled
longer-than-usual breaks and lunches to allow conference participants the
chance to speak informally, enjoy their coffee, and visit the vendor
displays. The agenda for this meeting follows.
