The Nuclear Reference Material and Measurement Facility consists of the nuclear chemistry and mass spectrometry laboratories.
The laboratories are used for provision of certified nuclear reference materials, for state-of-the-art reference measurements on nuclear material and environmental samples and for the organisation of Inter-laboratory comparisons on samples analysed in fissile material control and for environmental traces characteristic for the nuclear fuel cycle.
The certificates can be found in the Certified Reference Materials Catalogue.
