The conference organizers have put together a scientific program that we are confident you will enjoy and find professionally stimulating. We are glad to see so many our colleagues return for MARC XI, and to our first time attendees, thank you for choosing MARC to present your work! This conference continues to show an increase in the number of papers to the previous conferences and highlights the continued growth in the field of radioanalytical chemistry. For the many participants attending for the first time, we hope you enjoy both the scientific and social activities and that you will take advantage of the relaxed and informal atmosphere to interact with colleagues from around the world in a beautiful, tropical setting. We are very glad to return to the Sheraton Kona Resort and Spa at Keauhou Bay where we have held three previous conferences. The organizers in collaboration with the Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry Board of the Hevesy Award welcome the decision to present the Year 2018 Hevesy Award for outstanding achievement in radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry at the opening ceremony of MARC XI. We extend our congratulations to Dr. Rolf Zeisler of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), who was selected as the 2018 Hevesy Award winner. Dr. Susan Heller-Zeisler (NIST) shall accept the award on his behalf and deliver the Hevesy Medal Award lecture in honor of his memory and outstanding contribution to science and the science community, "Dr. Rolf Zeisler: A Career Reflected in 30 years of MARC." We would like to thank all members of the Organizing Committee who have worked to make the conference a success and the session organizers who have organized an outstanding scientific program. No Final Program is ever ‘final’ until the conference is over. This program was finalized on March 20, 2018 so any changes will be posted at the conference registration desk. We are also trying a new program application for smart devices at MARC XI. Program updates will be pushed daily to the app, and we look forward to your feedback on the move to an electronic program. Finally, we hope to see all of you and your guests at the receptions and Luau. These social events have always been the highlight of the conference and a good time is had by all!

HEVESY MEDAL AWARD LECTURE

Dr. Rolf Zeisler: A Career Reflected in 30 years of MARC

Acceptance and Lecture by Dr. Susan Heller-Zeisler on behalf of Dr. Rolf Zeisler of the National Institute of Standards and Technology

Drawing from the work authored and co-authored by Dr. Rolf Zeisler throughout the progression of the MARC conferences, this presentation highlights a few of his many career achievements. Spanning his extensive history with the conferences, the presentation touches on some of his notable research areas, including low-level trace element determinations, elemental speciation, radiochemical determinations, and the use of state-of-the-art instrumentation to push the boundaries of activation analysis. Never satisfied with existing limitations, he constantly pushed to improve the accuracy in analytical determinations of trace elements. To do so, he solicited a diverse group of collaborators possessing a wide range of analytical expertise. This approach reflected his drive to identify the particular analytical technique or set of techniques appropriate to achieve the desired goals of lowering detection limits and/or improve accuracy for the samples being investigated. In the use of instrumental methods, this has ranged from employing instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) using Compton Suppression and investigations on the accuracy of high count rate gamma spectrometry. In prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA), he continually pushed to use coincidence and anti-coincidence techniques, starting with measurements in pulsed cold neutron beams, and moved to time-resolved gamma-ray spectrometry. In addition to pushing boundaries on the instrumental side, he also remained a steadfast supporter of radiochemical techniques where appropriate, to achieve more precise results and lower detection limits. This has been both in combination with INAA, as in the case of the human liver sample analyses, but has also included more directed measurements by radiochemical separations, e.g. for Si and for Al, V, and Ni in reference materials and challenging biological matrices. His work has also included the development and characterization of new reference materials. Some of this work is highlighted here, including his work on the air particulate matter on filters, which led to Standard Reference Material (SRM) Air Particulate on Filter Media, SRM Fine Air Particulate Matter, and RM Air Particulate Matter on Filter Media. These are the first RMs of this kind worldwide. His continued interest in trace element speciation supported his involvement in the collaboration to develop the hair intercomparison materials for mercury speciation. In addition to these, he strove to achieve the most accurate and precise measurements for existing reference materials. To evaluate long-term stability, he initiated oxygen measurements in a coal SRM via 14 MeV NAA in order to determine any chemical change through oxidation over time. He also collaborated with his NIST colleagues toward the demonstration of viability of INAA in chemical metrology, surveying the uncertainty components that affect the INAA measurement process. The process was tested with the INAA determination of Cr in SRM 1152A stainless steel. Throughout his career, he served as a mentor to young scientists worldwide. Following this interest, in addition to his research presentations at the MARC meetings, he worked on the continuing discussions on how to further radiochemical education in the U.S. and abroad. He was co-organizer on three successive sessions on Nuclear Science Manpower and Education panels (MARC-VI, VII, and VIII). The first session resulted in a resolution on Manpower Requirements and Education in Nuclear Science, signed by attendees at the meeting. The follow-up sessions described the progress and specific examples of programs, as well as continuing needs. Dr. Zeisler made an indelible mark in furthering excellence in the field of analytical science and in the lives of those individuals who knew him.

SESSION Q2 CONTINUED: PANEL DISCUSSION ON REFERENCE & PROFICIENCY TESTING MATERIALS CHALLENGES AND NEEDS:

HOW GOOD IS GOOD ENOUGH? Workable Traceability Options for Reference and

Performance Testing Materials 3-5 PM IN HUALALAI

Abstract Previous publications from the MARC conference have detailed the great variety of Certified Reference Materials (CRM) and Performance Testing (PT) materials needs. The needs are much greater than the capacity to provide the materials. Workable options are needed to bridge this critical traceability gap. This discussion intends to:

1) Identify nuclear and radioactive communities who need CRM and PT materials. 2) Discuss and develop scalable and workable traceability options for CRM

and PT material providers. Schedule 3:00 – Speakers 3:30 – Breakout Group Discussions (see below) 4:30 – Reconvene for Discussion Summaries and Consensus Recommendations Speakers

L. Guy Backstrom, USDOE, Radiological and Environmental Sciences Laboratory Ryan Fitzgerald, USDOC, National Institute of Standards and Technology Simon M. Jerome, National Physical Laboratory, UK Lawrence Jassin, Eckert & Ziegler Isotope Products Jackie Mann, USDOC, National Institute of Standards and Technology Evgeny Taskaev, Eckert and Zeigler Analytics, Inc.

Topics • Traceability for CRM/PT

o What is the role of the National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) for these materials? Why do NMIs recognize each other’s work?

o What is Traceability in this context? What are alternatives when traceability cannot be established?

• Secondary Traceability o Is there precedent for NMIs to recognize CRM/PT materials produced by

secondary parties? What is traceability at this secondary level? o What does ISO 17025/17043 (and relevant guides) have to say about

secondary/tertiary parties producing CRM/PT materials? Is traceability paramount to these standards?

o What would it take to support production of CRM/PT materials by secondary/tertiary and QA/QC parties?

• Unique Measurands What should be done if NMIs don't have an appropriate standard for a given radionuclide measurement [e.g., Monte Carlo software, gross alpha/beta efficiency calibrations, in-vivo phantoms, high-fired plutonium, surface activity, morphology, short-lived radionuclides, poor nuclear data, matrices with short viability, complex combinations of radionuclides, spectral interferences, sub-micron level heterogeneity, speciation, imaging, nuclear fuel-cycle signatures]
