The Cincinnati Radiation Society (CRS) Chapter of the Health Physics Society (HPS) cordially invites you to attend a free virtual CRS Zoom meeting with David J. Allard, MS, CHP, FHPS, presenting "Three Mile Island Challenges: Past, Present, and Future" on Wednesday, 19 March 2025, 7–8 pm ET.

The Three Mile Island nuclear generating station was commissioned in the mid-1970s and consisted of two pressurized water reactors. An accident occurred in 1979 in the Unit 2 reactor due to a faulty valve, and the uncovered core caused the fuel to melt, completely disabling the reactor. The other reactor, Unit 1, continued to operate until 2019.

Dave Allard has been associated with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for a number of years and will share his interesting insights into the legacy of Three Mile Island.

Register here by 18 March to attend.

Save the Date: The next CRS meeting will be 30 April 2025 at the MadTree Alcove in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine district. HPS President-elect Mike Lewandowski will present "Radiation Gauging: A Practical Application of Basic Science."
