   INTRODUCTION
 
Monitoring of ionising radiation has largely been carried out using passive personal dosemeters incorporating detectors such as film or luminescent materials. Neutron dosimetry can also be performed using these detectors as well as etched-track or superheated emulsion (bubble) detectors. Personal dosemeters using active electronic detectors such as silicon diodes or other semiconductors have also been available for quite some time, but in the past they were most often used as entry-control dosemeters that would provide an alarm when a pre-set level of dose equivalent or dose equivalent rate was encountered. With the development of improved, multi-detector, electronic personal dosemeters (EPD), it became possible to consider using these devices as workplace dosemeters that would function in the same way as passive dosemeters. The versatility and additional features available in EPDs make them good candidates for serving as routine workplace dosemeters. But, replacement of many thousands, perhaps millions, of passive dosemeters with . . . [Full Text of this Article]
