Hello everyone I am sending this out to the PRS membership list also.
We have a half-day session on the agenda for the February 2018 HPS meeting in Denver. We need more presentations at this meeting. If you can attend and if you want to make a presentation or just bring up items for discussion at the PRS session that would be great. The HPS organizing committee in Denver is asking for titles and abstracts but we can work with them on firming up our agenda. http://hpschapters.org/2018midyear/abstracts/index.php "If possible could you send us a schedule for your session and ask all of your speakers to submit via the meeting submission page (link<http://hpschapters.org/2018midyear/abstracts/index.php>). In the "Topics" section please select "Other" and list "Power Reactors" in the text field. Even if we don't have all of them, it is good to get them in the system and laid out in our template. Whether you submit them or the presenter, it doesn't matter to us but it may be easier to have the presenter do it since there is some personal information they request (address, phone, email, etc...). As for the deadline, we would really like to have everything by the 6th, however, if you are getting the last abstract or two I could probably go another week or so. Anything beyond that I can't confirm at this point. We would like to advertise the Special Sessions in the November Health Physics News publication and our deadline for that is Oct 14th" There are currently 3 items on the agenda, "the Nuclear Promise, NRC reorganizations and regulations, new instrumentation for NPP" Perhaps a discussion on what China is doing in the nuclear reactor realm, or what SHOULD be done with "spent" nuclear fuel, or what will be the effect of new US regulations on the nuclear industry. Best regards Tom James Tom Voss President of the Power Reactor Section of the HPS
