NUMEC'S
PRIM
PERSONAL RADIATION MONITOR
About the size of a fountain pen, and weighing only 3V2 oz., NUMEC's PRM provides continuous audible and visual indication of radiation levels. The NUMEC PRM, hundreds of which are currently being produced for Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been tested in radiation fields f r o m normal background to 3 χ 1 0 6 roentgen per hour without failure. Two instruments are available covering both low (up to 2 R/hr) and high (up to 200 R / h r a n d above) radiation ranges.
lows on October 23-27. This course consists of lectures and laboratory exercises on techniques and applications of recently developed ion-exchange methods which provide desired selective separations and enhance performance of final analytical determinations. Full descriptions of these courses are given in the Training Program Bulletin which is available on request. Trainees may register in single or related courses. Applications or requests for informa tion should be addressed to The Chief, Training Program, Robert A. Taft Sani tary Engineering Center, 4676 Colum bia Parkway, Cincinnati 26, Ohio, or to a PHS regional office.

The Instrument Society of America's 16th Annual Conference and Exhibit will be held September 11 to 15 at Los Angeles. The conference will be at the Biltmore Hotel and the exhibits at Memorial Sports Arena in Exposition Park. A total of 80 technical sessions with approximately 300 authors is sched uled for the five-day meeting. They will cover new developments in manyphases of instrumentation technology. This will be the largest program in ISA history. In addition to ISA, nine other or ganizations are cooperating with ISA. These are
