This online workshop is open to experts and stakeholders from both radionuclide metrology and inorganic chemical analysis communities with experience or interest in using mass spectrometry to support metrological analysis of radioactive elements in applications such as nuclear power, environmental stewardship, forensics and medicine, and the nuclear data supporting the counting methods used in...

The workshop was aimed at people from RMOs who have developed, are developing or wish to develop digital electronics suitable for a RMO SIRTI comparison based on a NaI(Tl) well counter.

The BIPM is looking for a scientist with experience in radionuclide metrology for the development of a new, high precision method to compare primary standards of alpha-emitting radionuclides.

Radioactive sources are at the heart of CCRI activities, whether it is a reference field for the calibration of instruments, an unknown sample that needs to be identified and standardized, or a check source that monitors system stability. However there are pressures from several different directions to reduce the use of radioactive sources in ionizing radiation applications, replacing them with...

The KCWG(II) has posted the Measurement Methods Matrix (MMM), as a tool for evaluating CMCs in radioactivity, on the BIPM website. In the interest of supporting the calibration and measurement capabilities (CMCs) published by National Measurement and Designated Institutes (NMIs and DIs) on the Key Comparison Database (KCDB), the Consultative Committee on Ionizing Radiation Section II...

The Henri Becquerel National Laboratory (LNHB) at @CEA-List is participating in the World Metrology Day! Two videos are available in English. Other videos are available in French on the LNHB website (http://www.lnhb.fr/categorie/actualite/#journee-mondiale-de-la-metrologie-2022).   The LNHB is the French national laboratory for metrology in the field of ionizing radiation. As such, it belongs...

The value of the range of communication channels the CCRI can use to engage, inform and support the Ionizing Radiation (IR) community has been demonstrated in the last years; in particular electronic communication (Webinars, e-learning, Blog, Newsletter, YouTube). Although this is led, coordinated and mostly resourced from the BIPM work programme, it would be valuable to ensure that the...

The Low-Level Radioactivity Measurement Techniques (LLRMT) 2022 conference will take place at Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS), Italy, on 2-6 May 2022.

The CCRI Strategy provides an overview of the CCRI strategy to 2028 and beyond. The strategy was developed by CCRI members in consultation with the wider ionizing radiation metrology community and key stakeholders and was first published in 2018. Strategies such as this need to be living documents. Hence this second version, adopted by the CCRI in June 2021, updates the strategy to reflect...

Accurate patient dosimetry for radionuclide therapy is a complex task which includes measuring the activity of the radionuclide administered to the patient, determining the distribution of the radiopharmaceutical in the body and estimating the radiation dose delivered. This field, which combines biology, dosimetry and radionuclide metrology, is at an early stage. The aim of this workshop is to...
