Procedure for the calibration and evaluation of dose equivalent estimates for the national dosimetry service, Canada

Creators

Description

The Bureau of Radiation and Medical Devices currently provides dosimetry services for about 110,000 people. The detectors are TLD evaluated using readers of the Chalk River design. 5 mGy of 137Cs gammas are used for calibration, and the badges are irradiated free in air. Complex algorithms are used to determine whole body dose equivalent and skin dose equivalent. (orig.)
