Electronic dosimeter characteristics and new developments

  • 1. International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna (Austria)

Description

Electronic dosimeters are very much more versatile than existing passive dosimeters such as TLDs and film badges which have previously been the only type of dosimeters approved by national authorities for the legal measurement of doses to occupationally exposed workers. Requirements for the specifications and testing of electronic dosimeters are given in the standards produced by the International Electrotechnical Commission Working Group IEC SC45B/B8. A description is given of these standards and the use of electronic dosimeters as legal dosimeters is discussed. (author)
