NBL is the Federal Certifying Authority for nuclear reference materials. This responsibility was transferred to NBL from the Department of Commerce/National Bureau of Standards in 1987. NBL prepares or oversees preparation of, certifies for chemical and/or isotopic composition, and distributes nuclear reference materials--traceable to a nationally accepted, internationally compatible reference base--to calibrate and standardize nuclear material measurements. The Laboratory is responsible for maintaining the measurement reference base for nuclear materials and currently provides more than 50 Certified Reference Materials for use by the international nuclear community. These reference materials are compatible with, or serve as, international standards used by nuclear facilities and safeguards authorities around the world for calibration of systems used for measurement of the full spectrum of nuclear materials ranging from product to environmental or waste materials.
