An informal users meeting for participants (and interested
parties) in the ORNL bioassay Intercomparison Studies Program (ISP) will be
held. ISP has been providing natural
urine blind/double blind QC samples on a monthly basis since 1991. Synthetic fecal and whole body count samples
are also provided. The workshop will
have a discussion format. Topics to be discussed
include: statistics, reporting of results, program report format and content,
traceability, and possible new matrices (nasal smears, filters, acid solutions)
and radionuclides.
