Abstract

With the aim of encouraging and facilitating the participation of Individual Monitoring Services (IMS) in personal dosemeter intercomparisons, EURADOS (the European Radiation Dosimetry Group) started to organise a self-sustained programme of regular intercomparisons in 2008. Since then, six intercomparisons for whole-body dosemeters and two for extremity dosemeters in photon and beta fields, and two intercomparisons for whole body dosemeters in neutron fields, have been successfully performed. From the results it can be concluded that good procedures and dosemeter design can produce good results with all different types of systems (Film, TLD, OSL and others) over the tested energy, angular and dose range.This paper presents the organization details, results and conclusions of the 2016 and 2018 intercomparisons for whole body dosemeters in photon and beta radiation fields.
