Ionising Radiation Metrology Forum
06 July 2022
Chilton
This event took place at the UK HSA Training Centre which was a new venue for SRP. Just over 60 people attended the event and were very positive about the amenities, highlighting how close everything was within the venue. We'd like to say a big thank you to all of the speakers and to our 8 exhibitors: Berthold Technologies, JCS, KC Scientific, Mirion Technologies, Phoenix Dosimetry, Pycko, Southern Scientific, UK HSA.
There were some very interesting presentations, plenty of networking opportunities and delegates were given the option of visiting three different laboratories within UK HSA. The presentations (member access only) and photos from the day are now available to view below.
