Columbia Chapter  of the Health Physics Society Specialists in Radiation Safety  •  Chartered 1960  •  www.hpschapters.org/columbia Meetings • Membership • Affiliates • Scholarships ALARA Workshop August 3-4, 2010 Abstract deadline March 15, 2010, contact Owen_D_Berglund@rl.gov. - NEW Scholarship page – Scholarship for Fall 2010 application available CCHPS member Joe Soldat will be honored on April 22, at 4 pm, in the PNNL RTL building with the Joe Soldat Library christening and reception.  A room that was formerly used as a library has been converted into a conference room. Because the room was known as a library for so long, and because there are still a lot of book cases in there, the conference room is being named the Joe Soldat Library. If people want to attend, they will need a DOE badge.  If they don’t have one, they can contact Michelle Johnson (Michelle.Johnson@pnl.gov) or Melanie Davis (Melanie.davis@pnl.gov) and we’ll arrange for them to get a visitor badge.  The reception will run from 4 to 6 pm or whenever everyone goes home.  We will also play a game of “Oh, Hell”, a long-running card game that’s been played in RTL for decades.
