Call for Abstracts

The Health Physics Society (HPS) Decommissioning Section is issuing a call for abstracts for the 70th HPS Annual Meeting, which will be held 13–17 July 2025 at the Monona Terrace Convention Center in Madison, Wisconsin.

Members are encouraged to submit abstracts (and later presentations or posters) describing their decommissioning topics and projects, focusing on unique solutions and lessons learned.

When submitting, please specify that you would like your presentation to be included in the Decommissioning Special Session. The deadline for abstract submission has been extended to 7 March 2025. Abstracts should be submitted through the 2025 HPS Abstract Submission page,

Abstracts should not be submitted via email.

Other Matters

One thing the section Board would like to do is initiate a monthly spotlight on current decommissioning projects, regulatory issues, and/or recent Health Physics Journal papers relevant to decommissioning. We intend to do this through monthly webinars. Please reach out to us with your interest.

We look forward to hearing your feedback via email (President Ken Gavlik, President-elect Kevin Banks).
