- RPSD announces its National Meeting Awards for student and professional members. Winners at the 2010 ANS Annual Meeting were, in the student member category, Joshua Richard for the summary "Burnup-Dependent Neutron Source Term for Gross Neutron Detection Techniques," authored by J. G. Richard (Univ. of Florida), M. L. Fensin, S. J. Tobin, M. T. Swinhoe, and H. O. Menlove (LANL); and, in the professional member category, Paul Guss for the summary "Modeling Higher Resolution Scintillators for Nonproliferation," authored by Paul Guss, Alexis Reed, Michael Reed, Sanjoy Mukhopadhyay, Ding Yuan (Remote Sensing Lab), Matthew Cutler, Chris Contreras, and Denis Beller (UNLV).
- The Rockwell Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Nicholas Tsoulfanidis at the RPSD 2010 Topical Meeting at Las Vegas, NV, in April 2010. The award consisted of a plaque and a $500 monetary prize. The Rockwell Lifetime Achievement Award is based on long-term or lifetime achievement in research, technology development, or education in the fields of radiation protection, shielding, or dosimetry.
RPSD invites you to attend their "Best of Radiation Protection and Shielding 2010" session at the 2010 ANS Winter Meeting, which will feature best papers from the RPSD 2010 Topical Meeting held in Las Vegas, Nev., in April 2010.
