The Cincinnati Radiation Society (CRS) chapter of the Health Physics Society (HPS), in partnership with the Ohio Valley Section (OVS) of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), held a very informative, engaging, and successful virtual meeting. Approximately 25 members met on Thursday, 30 September 2021, to hear Phillip H. Jenkins, PhD, CHP, present on the Mound Plant Radon Program and the Bowser-Morner Radon Reference Laboratory. The presentation provided an excellent insight into the broad world of radon exposures from uranium mining and milling operations, as well as the specialized field of radon testing, coupled with industry-leading expertise and a radon chamber designed to mirror chambers formerly used by the Environmental Protection Agency to meet a spectrum of performance testing, radon spiking, and monitor calibration needs. This meeting was yet another successful collaboration within the CRS & OVS scientific communities.
