The website provides information on our non-Quality Assurance (QA) activities which include:
Research into radionuclide metabolism and biokinetics
Research on the health effects of internal radioactive contamination
Training, upon request from national or international partners, on bioassay techniques and internal dosimetry
Bioassay measurements and internal dose assessment for suspected radionuclide intakes
Bioassay and internal dosimetry support for Canada’s federal nuclear emergency plan
Participation in the development of national and international standards for radiation protection
Methods development in support of our programs
Special independent or collaborative projects
QA and bioassay intercomparison programs are described in the NCRC web site.
