A deadline of the 16th May is set and an agenda will be circulated to registered attendees.
This will be a one-day meeting at the Å·ÃÀAV Burlington House, with a mixture of laboratory updates, invited keynote and submitted technical talks with opportunities to network before during and after. The meeting aims to be a continued series of such meetings that will ultimately maintain the UK actinide measurement community.
The analysis (structural, isotopic and radiochemical) of the actinides provides important support to the safe and secure operation of the nuclear fuel cycle. This is a meeting to discuss the latest advances, current issues and best practice in the analysis and safe handling of actinide-bearing materials for the technical community with additional focus on availability of reference materials to underpin nuclear operations.
Following from the first meeting hosted by the Å·ÃÀAV in 2023, this meeting, sponsored and led by AWE, NPL and UK NNL, will host technical talks and interactive roundtable discussions. The symposia aims aims to act as a user forum for practitioners in the quality assured radiochemical analysis of actinide materials to come together and share experiences and challenges, covering measurements of bulk properties to trace impurities.
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) will also jointly host a session covering nuclear reference material plans in the UK and seek input from the UK analytical community. The notes of the meeting are circulated to allow highlighting of cross industry opportunities for action and improvement.
