On July 28– 30, 2026, the Annual Particle Production for Safeguards meeting will be held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This event will bring together material producers and safeguards metrology experts from the U.S. and international institutions to discuss recent developments in reference particle production and particle metrology related to environmental sample collections for nuclear safeguards.
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear technical updates and share knowledge and best practices. This meeting will build on the success of meetings in prior years which resulted in strong cross-institutional collaborations that have sped the acceleration of innovation in this field by bringing reference material production and metrology experts together to identify new research directions for the benefit of the international safeguards community.
This is a limited access meeting. If you have questions about attendance, please contact Amanda Forster (Amanda.forster [at] nist.gov (Amanda[dot]forster[at]nist[dot]gov)).
