CONFERENCE HISTORY

The 65th Annual Radiobioassay and Radiochemical Measurements Conference is a continuation of an informal conference that has a long history. Over the past 66 years, the conference has also been known as:


  • Annual Bioassay and Analytical Chemistry Conference

  • Annual Conference on Bioassay, Analytical, and Environmental Radiochemistry

  • Annual Radiochemical Measurements Conference



The RRMC has a prestigious history of providing a scientific forum for professionals and students to present and discuss their work advancing technologies for detecting, measuring, and analyzing radioactive materials. Since its inception as a meeting place for the advancement of radioassay measurements, the RRMC has grown to include all analytical methodologies for the detection and measurement of radionuclides across a wide spectrum of industries and sample matrices. Since 1955, the conference has been hosted by volunteers from government and industry throughout the United States and Canada.  This is the second time in the state of Georgia and the first in Atlanta.  We welcome y’all to continue the tradition.
