Environmental Program
Environmental Radioactivity Section Objectives
To support metrology improvements in the radiochemistry community through
research and development of low-level radionuclide Standard Reference Materials
(SRM's) and measurement quality assurance.
Goals and Program Summaries
- Provide environmental natural-matrix SRM's for validation of radiochemical
methods.
- Provide traceability testing of common environmental and bioassay materials
to the low-level radiochemistry community.
- Develop a standard sequential extraction protocol for use in the
environmental assessment community. The sequential extraction methodology
provides unique insight into the geochemical partitioning of radionuclides in
soils and sediments.
