     Meeting of the Radiochemical Methods Group of the RSC

     Wednesday 21st April 1999 at the Berkeley Centre, Gloucestershire,
     England

     Accreditation and Proficiency Testing for Radiochemical Measurements

     The meeting addresses accreditation and proficiency testing for
     radiochemical laboratories and tries to present a forum for structured
     discussion of the two topics. Hopefully, whether or not your
     laboratory is accredited and whether you are an analytical or
     radio-chemist the day will contain something of interest to you.
