Description
In order to specify the hazards of radiation fields and the dose equivalents received by individuals more precisely and coherently than is done by currently-used dose equivalent quantities, the ICRU has defined four new such quantities. One of their aims was that the required changes to dosimeters and monitoring instruments, in order to measure the new quantities, would be as small as possible. These new quantities are described and some of the requirements that they will impose on measuring devices are outlined
