Radionuclide Speciation

Snow King Resort
Summit Two Auditorium
Jackson Hole, WY, USA


October 27-28, 2007
Sponsors:

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Council for Ionizing Radiation Measurements and Standards
The Norwegian University of Life Sciences
International Atomic Energy Agency.

Audience:
Academia, Federal Agencies, Regulators, Commercial sector.
Format:
Workshop.
Purpose:
To focus on recent advanced technologies and methods within radioecology, particularly speciation research related to the chemical, physical and morphological state of radionuclides as they appear in various compartments in environmental and biological systems. In addition, advanced techniques for measuring low level activity concentrations of radionuclides and their species, isotopic and atom ratios will be highlighted.

To provide a forum at which recent progress in analytical methodology related to speciation of radionuclides can be discussed and to provide an opportunity for an interchange of ideas between radioanalysts and scientists investigating fundamental aspects of assessment of dose to living organisms including man.
Topics:

1. Sampling, Fractionation, Separation and Detection of Radionuclides Species in:

  • Air
  • Water
  • Soil and Sediments
  • Biological Systems
  • Other matrices
2. Determination of Isotope and Atom Ratios.

3. Advanced Techniques for Radionuclide Speciation, including Characterization of Radioactive Particles.

4. Thermodynamic and Kinetic Aspects.

5. Radionuclide Speciation in Environmental Impact and Dose Assessment.
