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 RSC 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 RSC in 2023, this meeting, sponsored and led by AWE, NPL and UKNNL, will host both technical talks and interactive roundtable discussions. The symposia will act as a user forum for practitioners of quality assured radiochemical analysis of actinide materials (solid and solution) to come together and share experiences and challenges. It will cover the measurements of all aspects from bulk material to the trace impurities within.
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) will also jointly host a session covering development of a nuclear reference material library in the UK. This would support all UK analysts/institutes and so this session seeks input from all parties. The outputs will be available to all participants to allow further highlighting of cross industry opportunities for support, action and improvement.
