INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR TRACK SOCIETY 20 th International Conference on Nuclear Tracks in Solids Book of Abstracts Portorož, Slovenia August 28 - September 1, 2000 sponsored For the symbol of this meeting we have choosen the drawing of the old sailing ship. It is symbolizing the venue at the sea side and also quite sophisticated technology of old days. With our research and developments, also in the area covered at this meeting, we are permanently trying to improve it.
