The Fourteenth International Symposium on Reactor Dosimetry will be held May 22-27, 2011, at the Omni Mount Washington Resort, Bretton Woods, New Hampshire.

This Symposium is held approximately every three years to provide a forum for the interchange of state-of-the-art techniques, data bases and standardization of radiation metrology. The Symposium will be of value to those involved in reactor dosimetry, including researchers, manufacturers and representatives from industry, utilities and regulatory agencies.

This Symposium is jointly sponsored by ASTM International and the European Working Group on Reactor Dosimetry (EWGRD). It is organized by ASTM Committee E10 on Nuclear Technology and Applications.

The Symposium theme is dosimetry for the assessment of irradiated reactor materials and reactor experiments, featuring radiation metrology techniques, data bases and standardization. Under this theme, papers are solicited for presentation in the following areas:

* Reactor surveillance and plant-life management
* Data evaluation, uncertainty analysis, and adjustment methods
* Retrospective dosimetry and decommissioning
* Dosimetry for assessment of reactor structural materials
* Neutron and gamma-ray transport calculations
* Dosimetry for core characterization and reactor physics
* Characterization of neutron and gamma-ray environments
* Damage correlation and exposure parameters
* Monitoring of irradiation experiments
* Nuclear data for dosimetry
* Benchmarking, calibrations and standards
* Fusion and high-energy neutrons
* Reactor and accelerator neutron sources
* Irradiation processing and testing of electronics
* Experimental techniques, new developments and optical methods
* Dosimetry for space nuclear power

Papers in these and other areas are expected to cover such applications as fission and fusion energy research and test and research reactor experiments. Health Physics papers are outside the scope of this Symposium.

The Symposium will be organized into oral and poster presentations, as well as informal round-table workshops. The meeting language will be English. No translations will be provided.

All papers presented at the Symposium will be subject to peer-review before acceptance for publication in the on-line Journal of ASTM International. Registrants will receive a complimentary volume of the papers accepted for publication.
