NKS-B RADWORKSHOP 2024

Workshop on Radioanalytical Chemistry for Nuclear Decommissioning and Waste Management

9-13 September 2024, DTU Risø Campus, Frederiksborgvej 399, Roskilde, Denmark

This is the fourth RadWorkshop supported by NKS, following three successful RadWorkshops at Risø, Denmark in 2009, 2013 and 2018, each with different focuses within the realm of radioanalytical chemistry. Different from previous ones, RadWorkshop 2024 will embrace a broader spectrum of topics in radioanalytical chemistry, reflecting the evolving landscape of this field.

The workshop is organised by the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), in close collaboration with Norwegian Life Science University (NMBU), University of Helsinki (UH), Swedish Food Agency (SLV), Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (DSA), and Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, Finland (STUK).

RadWorkshop 2024 aims to enhance the education of MSc/PhD students and young scientists, bolster the expertise of staff in the field of radiochemistry, and foster effective radioanalytical output. The workshop topics include:

1. Radiochemistry and measurement techniques

¨ Principles of radiochemical analysis

¨ Radiochemical methods for hard-to-measure radionuclides

¨ Measurement techniques (alpha, beta, gamma, LSC, mass spectrometry)

¨ Development of new techniques/materials

2. Radioanalytical Chemistry in Emergency Preparedness
3. Radioanalytical Chemistry in Nuclear Decommissioning
4. Radioanalytical Chemistry in Radioecology and Environmental Studies

 The workshop consists of two parts: 9-11^th September: Invited lectures and presentations from participants at Auditorium, building 112, Risø. A number of renowned experts in the field from around the globe will give insightful talks. 12-13^th September: Laboratory training in building 204, Risø. The lab training will demonstrate the radiochemical analysis of selected difficult-to-measure radionuclides (e.g., Pu-239, 240, Sr-90) and provide practical instruction for performing ICP-MS measurements.
