IcETRAN 2022 KEY NOTE LECTURE:
IONIZING RADIATION AND METROLOGY
Abstract:
Ionizing radiation has been used for many beneficial applications in healthcare, material production and characterization, and in supporting a secure energy supply. Accurate metrology is key to unlocking the benefits, while ensuring that ionizing radiation can be controlled and used in a way that does not put patients, radiation workers, the general public or the environment at risk. Scientific, economical and social challenges are vital parts of IR metrology and require some regulatory, technological and metrology community changes. This lecture contains the results of EUROMET project dedicated to Ionizing radiation metrology infrastructure in Europe. The International Measurement System for ionizing radiation is shortly explained and compared with our own experiences and degrees of equivalence of our standards. The role of the consultative committee on the development of ionizing radiation metrology was emphasized. Very important part of this lecture is nuclear knowledge management and its role in power and non-power application of ionizing radiation with reference to our experience at the Faculty of Technical Sciences.
