Spanish Intercomparisons for Individual Monitoring

I. Villanueva, A. Hernández, I. Amor and M. J. Muñoz

The Spanish Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) carries out an intercomparison programme for individual monitoring every 5 years. The objective is to acquire valuable information on the performance of the dosimetry systems of the participating Spanish approved dosimetry services and to assess precision and accuracy as quality indicators of overall dosimetry performance. CSN has carried out two intercomparison programmes, the last one in 1995, in which 18 approved dosimetry services participated. The dosemeters were exposed to photon fields (137Cs gamma rays and two X ray beams of different qualities), at two standard laboratories in Spain. The irradiations were done for evaluating personal dose equivalent, Hp(10), using the ICRU 47 phantom. Presently, CSN is carrying out a new intercomparison, which will be finished in 2001. Twenty-three dosimetry services will participate; 22 from Spain and one from Cuba. The irradiations will be done in reference photon radiation fields.
