Helium Crisis 4.0 as it pertains to the NMR Community
IVAN User Meeting on May 19, 2022_at_ 12 Noon EST
We've all been made very aware of the severity of the current shortage of
helium supply by the announcement that the Pacific Northwest National Lab
(PNNL) was forced to de-energize five of their 28 systems to deal with the
reduced allocation. We have assembled a panel of experts both on the helium
industry and NMR magnet community to discuss the impact of this current
crisis and prepare our labs as best we can.
Part One of the meeting will detail the helium crisis as it pertains to the
NMR industry. Hopefully our panel will be able to provide very current
information on the shortage both over the short and longer term. This panel
will be led by Phil Kornbluth, the preeminent helium industry insider and
includes Craig Bettenhausen, an editor from the ACS who recently wrote an
article on the crisis for C&E News, and Dr. Nancy Washton, the director of
the NMR facility at the PNNL. Phil will begin with a presentation on the
supply shortage and we will follow with a panel discussion and questions
from our listeners.
Part Two will involve a discussion among our invited NMR magnet experts,
Razven Teodorescu from Bruker and Jon Webb from MR Resources. They will
begin by covering the practical implications of managing shortages of
helium including the potential necessity of de-energizing a magnet. This
discussion will focus on making plans for NMR facilities in the event of a
turn for the worse and will include what the options are, timing and risks
involved, etc.
