18th ISRD

The Eighteenth International Symposium on Reactor Dosimetry will be held 18-23 May 2025 at the Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina. The Symposium is jointly sponsored by ASTM International Committee E10 on Nuclear Technology and Applications and the European Working Group on Reactor Dosimetry (EWGRD).

This Symposium is held approximately every three years to provide a forum for the interchange of state-of-the-art techniques, data bases and standards for 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.

The Symposium theme is dosimetry for the assessment of irradiated reactor materials and reactor experiments, featuring radiation metrology techniques, data bases and standardization. Key topics include the broad areas of:

  • Experimental techniques, measurements and monitoring
  • Calculational methods
  • Reactor surveillance, plant life management and decommissioning
  • Nuclear data, uncertainties and adjustments
  • Benchmarks and inter-comparisons
  • Dosimetry in test and research reactors, including accelerators and fusion

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.

Interested parties are encouraged to visit this site periodically for updates and further information regarding the Symposium.
