2008 Annual Meeting

Session: Engineering Applications of Radioisotopes

This session brings together representatives from academia, industry, and government involved in the production, purification, and application of radioisotopes. Papers focused on the application of chemical engineering fundamentals to areas including target irradiation, separations of radioactive materials, development and application of analytical techniques, medical radioisotope development and delivery, space applications, and non-proliferation applications are strongly encouraged.
