GEX Dosimetry Workshop: April 22-24, 2008

GEX is pleased to announce our 2008 Dosimetry Workshop dates. The course has been shortened to 3 days and will be held on Tuesday through Thursday of given weeks in the future. The dates for 2008 are April 22nd - 24th. Registration is limited to 8 participants. For more information please visit http://www.gexcorp.com/GEX_educ.html to download the course outline and registration form.

Depending on demand, a second workshop will be added in late summer or late fall. The typical September workshop has been cancelled due to the 2008 International Meeting on Radiation Processing being held September 2008 in London.

 

Risø Courses 2008

Risø has announced its 2008 course dates and has added a course this year for Low Energy applications. Information from Risø is listed below. Please visit their website for more information http://hdrl.risoe.dk

  • Validation and Process Control for Electron Beam Sterilization: June 9-13 and August 25 - 29, 2008.
  • Validation and Process Control for Low Energy Electron Beam Irradiation: March 26-28, 2008.

 

IMRP 2008

The International Meeting on Radiation Processing 2008 is rapidly approaching September 21-25, 2008. Held approximately every 2 years, the meeting site for 2008 is the Riverbank Plaza Hotel in London. Complete information can be found at www.imrp2008.com.

We call your attention to the fact that there will be an optional workshops on the last day and for dosimetry there is:

Option 1: Advanced Dosimetry, Modelling and Process Control
Sponsored by the Irradiation Panel this practical workshop will develop these subjects. Specific topics will include dosimetry for low energy electron beams, techniques for processing at low temperatures, the use of mathematical modelling and the application of statistical process control.

Those interested in this workshop please note that you must register for this workshop and there is some additional cost.

ASTM Standards and Training

  • ISO 11137 references book
    We again would like to note that ASTM has put together a package of standards in a single book which is comprised of the 14 ASTM standards that are referenced in the new ISO 11137. You can purchase all the standards in a single convenient book. See the PDF for more details >download pdf
  • 6th International Workshop on Dosimetry for Radiation Processing
    ASTM's E10.01 Dosimetry committee is working hard on preparations for the next ASTM dosimetry training workshop. Details will be announced as soon as they are available.
