The Office of Isotope R&D and Production (DOE Isotope Program), Office of Science (SC) will be holding the 7th Workshop on Isotope Federal Supply and Demand.  Workshop participation is limited to representatives of Federal agencies and is by invitation only.  The Workshop is a venue for the Isotope Program to communicate to the Federal complex new isotope availability, progress in R&D in promoting isotope availability, and concerns in isotope supply chains that are vital to different Federal missions.  The Workshop also encourages interactions between Federal agencies and departments to avoid potential communication breakdowns that can lead to shortages of isotopes of critical and strategic importance to the Nation.  The Workshop will take place on Tuesday, January 12, 2021.

Topics will include the use, demand and supply of isotopes from a Federal perspective, in various areas including national security, medicine, and basic and applied research.  Participants will engage in discussions of their sponsored activities and demands for isotopes.  Discussions will also include existing supplies of isotopes, and efforts underway to increase supply of critical isotopes.  The output of this workshop will serve as input for the DOE Isotope Program to optimize its annual plan to increase isotope supply and mitigate shortages of critical isotopes.

The Workshop is a 1-day virtual meeting.  Participating agencies will be asked to provide isotope demands important to mission achievement for the next five years.  If you have any questions, please contact Valerie Mocca at Valerie.Mocca@science.doe.gov.
