Hungarian-Austrian co-operation in radiation dosimetry

Since 1974 a close and fruitful co-operation has been in progress between the Hungarian National Office of Measures (OMH) and the Austrian Research Center Seibersdorf (OEFZS) in the field of radiation dosimetry. The work began with intercomparison measurements and calibration of dosemeters at OMH. The practical experiences gained at OMH have been applied in the design of the new Austrian dosimetry laboratory established between 1975 and 1977. Since 1976 the cooperation of the two Institutions has been included in the Hungarian-Austrian inter-governmental agreement on technical-scientific co-operation as a joint priority research project. The mutually advantageous results contribute to the improvement of the dosimetry standard and the calibration facilities in both countries. (author)
