The Oak Ridge National Laboratory will host a joint INMM/ESARDA workshop, "International Workshop on Gamma Spectrometry Analysis Codes for U and Pu Isotopics" Nov. 3-7, 2008.

The workshop will provide an international forum for code developers, commercial distributors and end users to interface and develop solutions to many of the programmatic and technical issues associated with each of the codes capabilities, limitations, applicability, sustainability and version control. The workshop will also provide an international forum for discussing development of an internationally accepted standard test method for such codes.

End users will have an opportunity to interact with many of the original code developers and current commercial distributors in a hands-on, laboratory environment to better understand the application and limitations of the various codes. It is a unique opportunity for code developers and commercial distributors to interact with the user community to better understand the challenges that the user community faces when using the codes in a laboratory or field environment.

The workshop will include lectures from each of the various code developers. It will also include presentations from many end users. All workshop participants will actively participate in gamma spectroscopy system operation, data collection, data evaluation and error propagation.
