Make plans to attend next year's 51st Annual Meeting. Our meeting hotel is the Hyatt Regency Albuquerque - a Four-Diamond Award hotel in downtown Albuquerque, just a block from historic Route 66.

Albuquerque is inseparably bound to nuclear science. Nearby Los Alamos National Laboratory originally existed for a single purpose-to design and build an atomic bomb. Sandia National Laboratory - right in Albuquerque - was created as the ordnance design, testing, and assembly arm of Los Alamos National Laboratory. Los Alamos is now a significant supplier of medical radioisotopes, and Albuquerque is proud of it's connection to nuclear science. Two proofs of this are:

But there's more to Albuquerque than nuclear science. The city is rich with multicultural history. In fact, while we are there, Albuquerque will be celebrating its Tricentennial. Fine food and beautiful views are plentiful, and as stated above, our meeting hotel is only a block from Historic Route 66.

Route 66 is known as "The Mother Road" and "Main Street USA." Route 66 extended from Chicago to Los Angeles, and Albuquerque is currently in the middle of an extensive neon sign restoration along historic Route 66, so mark your calendar and plan to get your kicks AND CREDITS on Route 66!
