Intercalibration of environmental isotope measurements: the program of the International Atomic Energy Agency

Abstract

The environmental isotope intercalibration programs of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are presented. In fact, the IAEA has implemented two parallel programs during the last 20 years: for stable isotopes of light elements and for a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, tritium. This IAEA activity resulted in the preparation of a number of reference and intercomparison materials of various types, now stored in the Agency and available upon request. -Authors
