The San Diego Chapter of the Health Physics Society met on 20 March 2025, hosted by the Radiological Health Program of the San Diego Department of Environmental Health and Quality. Host Ron Yonemitsu, San Diego County senior health physicist, shared a new tool that the county has acquired to analyze and identify unknown radioactive sources. Dr. Daniel Scanderbeg, associate director of the Division of Medical Physics at UCSD, gave the excellent presentation "Innovations in Radiation Medicine and Infraguard." You can view Scanderbeg's talk on the San Diego Chapter YouTube Channel.

We are looking forward to hosting a possible social event for members, a tour of San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant, and more online and virtual meetings in 2025.
