ABOUT THE EVENT

The Seventh International Workshop on Dosimetry for Radiation Processing will be held Sunday through Thursday, June 24-28, 2012. Sponsored by ASTM Committee E10 on Nuclear Technology and Applications, the Workshop will be held at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina in San Diego, California, in conjunction with the June 24-27 standards development meetings of the committee.

Objective
The objective of this workshop is to enhance the knowledge and use of dosimetry through improved understanding of dosimetry principles, factors that influence dosimeter performance, dosimetry system calibration requirements, uncertainty in absorbed dose measurements, and application of dosimetry in process validation and process control. Active participation enhances participants understanding and application of ASTM and ISO/ASTM standards. This course provides essential information for all radiation processing applications, including the processing of medical products, foods, inks, packaging, polymers, and pharmaceuticals.
