D.08.2 High-Energy Electron Beam Dosimetry

Objective

• Develop a facility for NIST to support new jobs in advanced manufacturing based on high-energy electron beam dosimetry.

Actions

• (Proposed 2012) NIST should approve a seed grant to fund a planning team to assess current industry uses of high-energy electron beams and make predictions about future needs to address both current and emerging advanced manufacturing needs.

• (Proposed 2012) Pending success of previous action, NIST would need to marshal resources to support personnel and facilities upgrades such as shielding to utilize capital assets (e-beam accelerators) currently in storage to keep up with the changing needs of industry.

Requirements
