Description

In 1999, Asia Pacific Metrology Programme Technical Committee on Ionizing Radiation (TCRI), initiated regional key comparisons among its member countries. Under this programme, BARC was chosen as the organizer for Working Group 5 (WG 5) for key comparison of absorbed dose in water in 60Co radiation (at a depth of 5 g cm-2). Five institutions namely, ARPANSA (Australia), NSCL (Syria), CSIR (South Africa), INER (Taiwan) and SIRIM (Malaysia) took part in the intercomparisons. This paper brings the materials and methods used and the results of the intercomparisons
