CIEMAT participation in the seven EURADOS intercomparisons for whole-body dosemeters in photon and beta fields (2008-20)

Radiat Prot Dosimetry. 2023 Oct 11;199(15-16):1743-1747. doi: 10.1093/rpd/ncad004.

Abstract

Regular participation in intercomparisons (ICs) is an excellent way to test the reliability of results in laboratories. This work presents the analysis and conclusions of the results obtained by the CIEMAT dosimetry system in the last seven EURADOS ICs of whole-body dosemeters in fields of photons and beta radiation. Compliance with the criteria established in the ISO14146 standard, as well as the behavior of the CIEMAT personal dosemeters in all these ICs, has provided the necessary confidence for its use in the individual monitoring of workers during these years.
