1 Consultation for the Formulation of the NMS IR Programme Dr Dave Rayner Formulator Business Leader, Radiation Dosimetry 31 May 2006

2 The Timetable 24 May Orientation with MAC WG 5 Jun NPL staff brain-storming workshop Jun Oct Consultation to identify needs Nov Jan Develop project proposals 150% Jan/Feb MAC WG select 125% for public consultation Feb/Mar Apr/May Public consultation Jun/Jul Decision conference to agree final content Jul Sep Develop final programme document

3 Consultation Methods Focus groups related to key markets Visits to key organisations Get input from key conferences & workshops Online questionnaire on IR website Discussions in user group meetings Questionnaire mailed to membership of user groups

4 Sectors/Markets Selected focus group topics: Healthcare covering therapy & diagnostics Environment/Decommissioning/Waste Management Radiation Protection Industrial Applications Energy Current supply/new build/next generation Other sectors/markets: Defence & Security Instrumentation Long term research

5 NMS Review Changes Develop plans for 3+3 years First 3 years in detail - further 3 in outline Then rolling formulation, adding a year each year One of only 5 Knowledge Base programmes Links to DTI Technology Strategy & OGD/research council priorities Others: Physical; Chemical & Biological; Engineering & Flow; Materials & Thermal + Supporting programmes: Software; International; KT More focus on innovation & impact Up to 5 years horizon

6 NMS Review Changes 2 3 new Metrology R&D programmes 1. Healthcare & Security 2. Advanced Manufacturing & ICT 3. Transport, Energy & Environment Collaborative & co-funded money will be tight for these Strongly linked to DTI Technology Strategy Market focus rather than measurement area focus 5 to 10 year horizon New Quantum programme NMS long term research 10+ years horizon

7 mpact of NMS Review on R Formulation Look ahead 3+3 years to 2013 Remember rolling formulation can bring changes each year Identify knowledge base needs for IR programme Also identify metrology R&D longer term collaborative needs and map to relevant metrology R&D programme Consider DTI technology strategy & OGD/research council priorities Expect business case for ministerial approval in the middle of our formulation say December 2006

8 Projects Consultation focus is on markets, needs & topics Only later coalesce ideas into projects Themes may stay the same as they map to CCRI etc. Dosimetry; Radioactivity; Neutrons But projects will be very different Needs of Prince2 project management: Definite start & finish Clear products to be produced Delivery by teams not individuals Delivered more in series than in parallel

9 What Technology Changes? A few ideas: Smaller, more robust instruments, e.g. spectrometers More powerful computers and grids Digital signal processing Monoclonal antibodies in nuclear medicine Proton and light ion therapy Increased emphasis on small fields: IMRT, IGRT, Tomotherapy Combining imaging modalities: MRI, CT, PET, Ultrasound, New cyclotron & synchrotron facilities Advanced X-ray imaging with XRT s phase contrast technology

10 Ideas from CIRMS 2005 Internet-enabled metrology! Tomotherapy! High energy proton therapy! Electronic brachytherapy, tiny X-ray tubes from Xoft Brachytherapy with microspheres Pressage (dyed plastic) for 3D dosimetry Sicel implantable MOSFET dosimeter system LDR brachytherapy with 103 Pd seeds Radioimmunotherapy products, e.g. 213 Bi Calorimetry for neutron flux measurements Rapid prototyping to construct large volume sources or accurate phantoms

11 What should we not do? How can we create space to do new things? What can we do differently? What is no longer necessary? What can others in the UK do instead? What might we devolve to other NMIs?

12 How can you help? Request to be kept in touch Talk to NPL staff Complete the questionnaire online or when you get it Attend one or more focus group meetings Suggest NPL visit you or you visit NPL Make unsolicited input
