Emily Caffrey, 2025 Workshop Cochair

Dates have been finalized for the THIRD Health Physics Society (HPS) Workshop. The workshop, on fusion and nonionizing health physics, will be held 31 March–1 April 2025 in Birmingham, Alabama, at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

But wait, that's not all! The Professional Development School "Overview of the Nonionizing Radiation Spectrum" will be held after the workshop, 1–4 April 2025. Make plans now to attend both.

With the Lawrence Livermore National Lab's National Ignition Facility achieving fusion ignition for the first time ever in December 2022, the exciting world of fusion health physics has never been more eminent. Join us for a comprehensive workshop that delves into the latest advancements and challenges in both fusion and nonionizing radiation. Learn from industry experts and network with peers as we explore the potential of fusion energy and the importance of safeguarding human health in a nonionizing radiation environment. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and contribute to the future of radiation safety.

Abstracts on fusion and nonionizing radiation topics are welcome. Please submit your abstract through this link. The deadline for submitting abstracts is 31 January 2025. Please note there will be no extensions; instead, if you need a little more time, reserve a slot by contacting the task force chair with your subject and topic.
