The International Committee for Radionuclide Metrology will hold its 20th International conference at the University of Technology in the city centre of Vienna, from 8 - 11 June 2015. The goal of this international scientific conference is the exchange of information on the development of techniques and applications of radionuclide metrology, and to encourage international co-operation. The following EMRP projects will be presented at the meeting:
- Ionising radiation metrology for the metallurgical industry (IND04 MetroMetal) will produce new reference materials, methods and devices to improve the detection of radioactivity in scrap loads, cast steel, slags and fume dusts - reducing human health risks, trade disputes and environmental exposure across Europe.
- Metrology for molecular radiotherapy (HLT11 MetroMRT) will validate the methods and analyse the uncertainties involved in molecular radiotherapy procedures, leading to more effective targeted therapy and more effective treatments
- Metrology for processing materials with high natural radioactivity (IND57 MetroNORM) will improve measurements of naturally occurring radionuclides to ensure they do not unknowingly enhance radioactivity levels in waste and finished products.
