21st AMUG
The 21st Meeting of the AMUG took place in Las Vegas from May 5 - 7, 2009.
This meeting featured the third of the Mark D. Hoover/George J. Newton awards for outstanding & continuing contributions to the technology of radioactive aerosol measurements. The 2009 award was presented to Jeff Whicker of Los Alamos National Lab by Arthur Desrosiers. Jeff is one of the founders of AMUG and recently successfully chaired the publication of ANSI N13.56 for workplace air sampling.

A proposal was made to coordinate the meetings of the AMUG and the HPIC (Health Physics Instrument Committee) to have them held in the same city and during the same week of the year. This year the HPIC meeting was held in Austin Texas the week following the AMUG meeting in Las Vegas. All AMUG members and interested parties are invited to comment on this proposal. Go to the AMUG 2009 page to download the proposal and the presentations from the 21st meeting.
The AMUG also met for one evening during the annual HPS meeting which was July 12 - 16, 2009 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Go to WWW.HPS.ORG for information on this meeting.
