The International Standards Organization has put its stamp of approval on 18 nuclear analytical chemistry methods at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These testing and calibration methods have received ISO 17025 accreditation.
“Accreditation serves DOE missions in environmental stewardship, isotope production and nuclear security,” said Joe Giaquinto, head of ORNL’s Nuclear Analytical Chemistry section. “It gives the public, our regulators, our sponsors — everybody we supply these measurements with — confidence that the data that we produce meet the highest quality standards.”
The Chemical and Isotopic Mass Spectrometry, or CIMS, group received accreditation for three chemistry methods. Cole Hexel leads the CIMS group, which includes Kayron Rogers, Carson Evans and Shalina Metzger, who were all involved in the accreditation process.
