State of the Art of Environmental Dosimetry: 11th International Intercomparison and Proposed Performance Tests

The eleventh international intercomparison of environmental dosemeters was organised by the Environmental Measurements Laboratory in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Brookhaven National Laboratory. One hundred and twenty one participants from 31 countries submitted 174 sets of dosemeters, including thermoluminescence dosemeters (TLDs), film, electrets, and a Geiger-Mueller device. An outdoor field site was used to expose dosemeters to natural radiation for three months, while other dosemeters were exposed to 137Cs and 241Am laboratory sources. A pressurised ionisation chamber, operated continuously at the field site, provided an independent measure of the air kerma in the field, and laboratory air kerma values were verified with chambers calibrated by NIST. Results are presented and current issues in environmental dosimetry are highlighted, including the field performance of new hypersensitive TLD materials. Preliminary results are given from a pilot test of a proposed standard from the American National Standards Institute that provides performance test criteria for environmental dosemeters.
