• W2149265539 abstract "This closure report was prepared by the MOD’s Depleted Uranium Independent Review Board(IRB; see Appendix A for membership) and summarises the review board’s general observationsin respect of MOD’s depleted uranium research programme and the associated independentreview process.The report starts by providing an introduction to MOD’s research programme on the health andenvironmental consequences of depleted uranium (DU), membership of the IRB, the operation ofthe review process as implemented by the IRB and its terms of reference. These explanatorysections are then followed by brief summaries outlining the contribution of the IRB, its generalconclusions in respect of the research programme and then recommendations in respect ofcontinuing research needs and the independent review process.The Board concludes that the MOD has taken substantive steps, through its research programme,to demonstrate a commitment to its investigation of DU and to further our knowledge of theimpact of DU on man and the environment. Additional knowledge has been generated undervirtually all of the research topics and there now exists a substantive body of work that will beeventually made more widely available to those interested in the wide variety of issuesassociated with the military use of DU. The board felt of particular note within this context wasthe development of probabilistic modelling of uranium biokinetics and the study of DU corrosionrates.In terms of future research needs the IRB emphasises the need to: undertake and then publishresults from the radiochemical analysis of a limited number of DU samples; incorporate andreview the results of the NERC research programme; seek further opportunities for urinesampling and analysis to better constrain data on DU intake; continue to press for the exchangeof relevant data and analyses with other international bodies and to continue to progress andpopulate the proposed DU literature data base. The Board also asks the MOD to encourage: thepublication of work undertaken in this research programme in peer reviewed journals and thatlessons learnt in respect of the assessment of the health and broader environmental impacts ofDU based munitions be applied at an early stage in the development of alternative militarytechnologies.The IRB set high standards in undertaking its reviews of technical content, scientific rigour anddocument quality. As a consequence it recognises that this inevitably introduced some delaysinto the Dstl research team's planned schedules. However, the Board believes its efforts havehelped to target the work at relevant subjects and ensured the quality of the output, in terms ofthe validity of the conclusions and presentational standard, met an appropriate level. This viewhas been supported by feedback to the IRB from the Dstl. However, it is for the MOD customerto judge the IRB’s effectiveness within this context and to consider when it is most appropriateto use the IRB ‘mechanism’ in future programmes.From the perspective of methodologies and processes employed by the IRB during its reviewingof the MOD programme it feels that any future review board should be formed at an earlier stagein the process so that it can have a greater influence, if required, in the development rather thanjust the implementation phase of a given research programme. It found face to face meetingswith the Dstl staff, and periodic workshops particularly worthwhile during the course of thereview process." @default.
