International intercomparison on internal dose assessment (ICIDOSE 2017).

Internal dose assessment intercomparison exercises are useful tools: to verify the performance of an internal dosimetry service; to promote the harmonisation of dose assessments; and to identify weaknesses where further improvements are necessary. However, no such international intercomparisons have been performed for more than ten years. In the period May 2014-May 2016, the 'Technical Recommendations for Monitoring Individuals for Occupational Intakes of Radionuclides' were developed on the initiative of the European Commission, and later published within the EC Radiation Protection series, as RP188.
