REIMEP - Regular European Interlaboratory Measurement Evaluation Programme

Regular European Interlaboratory Measurement Evaluation Programme (REIMEP) was started by IRMM in 1982 for carrying out external control of the quality of the measurements of the nuclear fuel cycle materials. In REIMEP campaigns samples matching materials analysed routinely in the nuclear fuel cycle are sent to participating laboratories for measurements and to date 16 REIMEP campaigns have been organised, which involved safeguards laboratories throughout the world. This awareness programme has made a most significant contribution towards instilling a common European measurement system in the specific field of nuclear safeguards.
