2002 IEEE NUCLEAR
AND SPACE RADIATION EFFECTS CONFERENCE
Phoenix, Arizona July 15 -
19, 2002
The IEEE International Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC) invites you to start making plans to attend the 2002 conference to be held at the Pointe South Mountain Hotel, in Phoenix, Arizona, July 15-19, 2002. The NSREC has evolved into one of the most prominent international symposia on radiation effects in electronic materials, devices, and circuits. The Conference features a technical program of eight to ten sessions of contributed papers describing the latest observations in radiation effects on electronic materials, a Radiation Effects Data Workshop, and an Industrial Exhibit. In addition, the Conference has an up–to–date Short Course on Radiation Effects and Issues for Advanced Technologies.
The conference is sponsored by the IEEE/Nuclear and Plasma Science Society and supported by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Sandia National Laboratories, Air Force Research Laboratory, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
Technical Program
The technical program includes oral and poster sessions. Papers describing nuclear and space radiation effects on electronic and photonic materials, devices, circuits, sensors, and systems, as well as semiconductor processing technology and techniques for producing radiation-resistant devices and integrated circuits, will be presented at this meeting of engineers, scientists, and managers. International participation is strongly encouraged.
Information on submission of summaries to the 2002 IEEE NSREC can be found at www.nsrec.com/call2002.pdf. The deadline for submitting summaries is February 1, 2002.

Phoenix
Located along the banks of the Salt River, where early Hohokam Indians first settled, Phoenix is saddled between dramatic mountain ranges to the north, south and east. Although it’s the largest city in the US Southwest, Phoenix’s greatest attraction is the land that surrounds it: a vast expanse of untamed desert. Today, as the state capital of Arizona, Phoenix is as modern as any American metropolis, with a hyperactive arts scene and an economy as brisk as they come.
Phoenix offers a multitude of cultural and recreational activities giving visitors the opportunity to enjoy activities ranging from outstanding museums, galleries, performing arts, and fine dining to horseback riding and cowboy shoot-outs. The climate makes outdoor activities, such as desert jeep tours, hot-air ballooning, and water recreation a way of life. And, Phoenix has garnered well-earned praise as one of the world’s top five golf destinations.
The Pointe South Mountain Resort (www.pointesouthmtn.com) is the largest all-suite resort in the Southwest with 640 suites, ideal conference meeting space for NSREC, and four dining establishments - all located on 600 acres adjoining South Mountain Park and only a 15-minute drive from the Phoenix International Airport. Six swimming pools, located in scenic courtyards, provide convenience and variety to sunbathers and recreational swimmers.
The Phantom Horse Spa and Fitness Club offers aerobics and aqua-aerobic classes, a complete range of cardiovascular equipment, weight machines and free weights, as well as a variety of massage therapies and diagnostic services. World-class tennis and golf facilities round out your recreational opportunities at the Pointe.
