Nouvelle série de séminaires virtuels sur la métrologie des rayonnements ionisants
The seminars are co-ordinated by the Consultative Committee for Ionizing Radiation (CCRI) and hosted by the BIPM. The first seminar was held in October 2020 to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the BIPM Ionizing Radiation Department. Topics included the CCRI long-term strategy, the work-in-progress on metrology for radiopharmaceutical therapy and recent developments in low electrical current measurement for ionization chambers.
The second seminar on 5 November 2020 was chaired by Dr Annette Röttger from the PTB (Germany). The presentation was a summary of a EURAMET workshop discussing future needs in radiation protection dosimetry. The presentation is available on the BIPM YouTube Channel.
The webinar on 15 December 2020 will cover the international reference system for gamma-ray emitting radionuclides (the SIR). Topics for 2021 include a review of metrology for radiosterilization and a discussion of the new ISO standard for X and gamma reference radiation for calibrating dosemeters and doserate meters (ISO4037). Anyone with an interest in the field is welcome to attend. Links to the webinars are distributed to members of the CCRI, Sections and Working Groups and are also available from the Chairs of the Ionizing Radiation Technical Committees of the Regional Metrology Organizations.
