Radionuclide Metrology and Standards in Nuclear Physics

Abstract

The development of radionuclide standards for metrology has underpinned nuclear physics since its inception [1]. The current frontier of radionuclide metrology relies on developments in radiation detection and signal processing combined with accurate nuclear decay data evaluations [2] and contributes to a myriad of scientific disciplines. Radionuclide metrology represents a crucial part of the scientific jigsaw that enables societal benefits from nuclear physics research.
