ICRM 2017 will provide an opportunity for the exchange of information on the development of techniques and applications of radionuclide metrology, and to encourage international co-operation in this field.
Results from EMPIR project (14SIP07 Digital Standard) Standard for Digital Data Format for Nuclear Instrumentation will be presented at the conference. This project will prepare an IEC draft standard for the list-mode data format to be used in nuclear instrumentation, and develop software tools to support users of the standard. Such a standard would enable measurements to be compared across data analysis centres, providing greater confidence in and harmonisation of radioactivity measurements, and enabling the development of improved technology for nuclear safety.
