Abstract

Two surveys were performed, in 1983 and 1985, on behalf of EURADOS, the European Radiation Dosimetry Group, with the objective of obtaining information on beta particle exposure of radiation workers. The underlying idea was to assess the need for, and explore possible future activities of, a subcommittee in the field of beta radiation dosimetry. For this purpose two questionnaires were sent out. They were addressed, firstly, to personnel monitoring services in order to identify users with potential beta exposures and, secondly, directly to those users, in order to acquire more details on the subject. The replies of 16 personnel monitoring services and some 45 nuclear facilities, hospitals, industrial and research laboratories have been evaluated and discussed.
