EURADOS intercomparison IC2020ph on whole body dosemeters for photons.

The European Dosimetry Group has been organising international intercomparisons (ICs) for personal dosemeters on a regular basis. The IC announced in 2020 was postponed to the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021 due to coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions. The irradiation plan consisted of nine irradiation setups with five different photon radiation qualities (S-Cs, S-Co, N-150, W-60, W-80) and two different angles of irradiation incidence (0o and 60o).

EURADOS IC2019exteye- a self-funded intercomparison for extremity and eye lens dosemeters organised by EURADOS working group 2.

The European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) has been organising regular, self-funding, external dosimetry intercomparisons (ICs) since 2008. IC2019exteye, for extremity and eye lens dosemeters, attracted 113 systems (68 extremity and 45 eye lens) from 60 institutes with participants from 26 countries around the world. Irradiations were carried out in accredited European irradiation facilities in terms of Hp(0.

EURADOS whole-body dosemeters intercomparisons: lessons learnt from individual results.

Every 2 years since 2008, Eurados WG2 has organised a whole-body dosemeters intercomparison (IC) in photon and beta fields. This paper presents the information that individual participants can extract from their results. The irradiation plan of each IC was designed to allow participants check the performance of some important characteristics of their dosimetry systems, in particular: linearity, angular response, energy response and response to mixed fields.

EURADOS intercomparisons on whole-body dosemeters for photons from 2008 to 2020: analysis and comparison of general results.

Starting in 2008 the European Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) has been performing international intercomparisons (ICs) on photon whole-body dosemeters for individual monitoring services. These ICs have been organized (on a biennial basis) starting 2008 up to 2020 now, each time with a similar set-up but with small alterations in the subsequent irradiation plans. The response for Hp(10) and Hp(0.

EURADOS INTERCOMPARISONS ON WHOLE-BODY DOSEMETERS FOR PHOTONS FROM 2008 TO 2014.

Starting in 2008 the European Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) has been performing international intercomparisons on photon whole-body dosemeters for individual monitoring services. These intercomparisons were organised (on a biannual basis) in 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014, each time with a similar set-up but with small alterations in the subsequent irradiation plans. With an increasing number of participants and participating systems, this intercomparison action has become an important tool for individual monitoring services to test their whole-body dosimetry systems, compare their results with other services or systems and to improve the quality of their dosimetry.

EURADOS INTERCOMPARISONS IN EXTERNAL RADIATION DOSIMETRY: SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES AMONG EXERCISES FOR WHOLE-BODY PHOTON, WHOLE-BODY NEUTRON, EXTREMITY, EYE-LENS AND PASSIVE AREA DOSEMETERS.

The European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) has been organising dosimetry intercomparisons for many years in response to an identified requirement from individual monitoring services (IMS) for independent performance tests for dosimetry systems. The participation in intercomparisons gives IMS the opportunity to show compliance with their own quality management system, compare results with other participants and develop plans for improving their dosimetry systems. In response to growing demand, EURADOS has increased the number of intercomparisons for external radiation dosimetry.
