The CIEMAT programme on radiation dosimetry: a space for collaboration

This communication presents an overview of the technical and scientific activities presently carried-out at the CIEMAT Radiation Dosimetry Unit. The aim of the presentation is to facilitate the identification of possible areas of common interest with the Portuguese dosimetry community. The activities described are in areas of both, external and internal dosimetry, and include research and also services. The CIEMAT dosimetry services have evolved and nowadays they are more focused towards quality control activities serving the whole national community rather than to routine services, whenever these kind of services can be provided by other Spanish companies or institutions. Several research lines have been implemented, some of them very recently, chosen with criteria of opportunity and interest and also considering our technical possibilities and experience. (author)
