Workshop for Radionuclide Laboratories

Objectives: 

The primary objectives for the workshop are to:

• discuss and address developments and issues pertaining to laboratory operations;
• review and plan Proficiency Test Exercises (PTEs) for particulate (P) and noble gas (NG) samples;
• discuss certification and surveillance assessments;
• share operational experiences and lessons learned towards quality improvement;
• discuss advances in gamma spectrometry and noble gas measurements.

Participants Profile:

Participants Profile:

Applications for participation are accepted from:

• Staff of the IMS radionuclide laboratories and non-IMS noble gas capable laboratories.
• Representatives of venders having direct relationship with the IMS laboratory activities.

Participants are expected to submit an abstract for an oral presentation on the topics of the workshop, as there will be no poster sessions.
