Conference Home

This conference is a collaboration of the 11^th International Conference on Radiation Shielding (ICRS-11) and the 15^th Topical Meeting of the Radiation Protection and Shielding Division (RPSD-2008) of the American Nuclear Society.

This conference explores the scientific, technological and engineering issues associated with particle and ionizing radiation shielding in its broadest context, including nuclear energy systems, accelerator facilities, space and other radiation environments. It is one of the premier international radiation shielding events, regularly drawing hundreds of the world’s top scientists and engineers.

The authors of contributed work, presented at the Conference will be invited to submit a manuscript for inclusion in special issue(s) of American Nuclear Society (ANS) journal, Nuclear Technology.

The conference will take place at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia, USA.  Pine Mountain is located 60 minutes southwest of Atlanta, Georgia. Callaway Gardens is a man-made landscape in a unique natural setting. Conceived and created by Cason J. Callaway and his wife Virginia Hand Callaway, Callaway Gardens is a wholesome family environment where all may find beauty, relaxation, inspiration and a better understanding of the living world. With many of the native trees and shrubs in bloom, April is a great time to visit Callaway Gardens.

We count on your participation for the success of this meeting.

wThe ICRS-11 Logo was created with an MCNP5 simulation of neutrons streaming down a 3 meter concrete duct.  The letters ICRS 11 (NIST concrete) were placed inside the duct.  A mesh tally was used to obtain a spatial fluence rate map over the concrete duct which was then plotted in GNUPlot.  This work was done by Eric Burgett, a graduate student at Georgia Institute of Technology.w
