The Outlook for the Application of Electronic Dosemeters as Legal Dosimetry

X. Ortega, M. Ginjaume, A. Hernández, I. Villanueva and I. Amor

This study analyses new trends of a set of 12 electronic personal dosemeters in order to gain an overview of their main advantages and limitations. Physical characteristics and radiological, mechanical and environmental performance were tested according to IEC-61526 Standard requirements. The study highlights the different behaviour of the selected dosemeters. In particular, it is demonstrated that three of the tested devices fulfilled most of the established requirements, whereas another three of them presented important faults. The parameters that need more development are, in general, the response at low energy photon and beta radiation, and the dose rate alarm features. In some cases, mechanical problems as well as interference in the response due to external electromagnetic fields were also found. However, the results of the study foresee a promising future for the application of the newest personal electronic dosemeters as legal personal dosemeters and show the need for internationally agreed technical requirements within the European countries.
