Description
International collaboration in the field of radionuclide metrology
Since 1976, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) operates the International Reference System (SIR) which provides international comparisons of radioactivity standards. This system is based on a re-entrant ionization chamber and a specific approach to provide robust comparison values over decades [1]. Although the system has proven its worth for many gamma-emitting...

Science-based decision making crucially depends on the quality of the metrology from which it derives its information. Measurements with incomplete uncertainty budgets can lead to a misinterpretation about the phenomena under investigation, sometimes with fundamental implication in science and policy...
