ESIR – Extension of SIR

A pilot study has been carried out to test the system in condition of a key comparison of standard solution of 60Co. Compared to the reference SIR, the study shown the capability of ESIR to provide accurate and precise degrees of equivalence – a least when the solution is known not containing additional impurities. The CCRI(II) validates the fact that the service can open in 2024 and a protocol is under definition (link to the protocol).

 

Radionuclides covered 14C, 35S, 45Ca, 55Fe, 63Ni, 89Sr, 90Sr, 99Tc, 147Pm, 241Am, 241Pu
