The routine calibration in terms of the new ICRU quantities of personal dosemeters to be worn on the trunk

  • 1. National Radiological Protection Board, Chilton (UK)

Description

A brief article describes the routine calibration of personal dosemeters in terms of the phantom quantities directional dose equivalent at 0.07 mm, H' (0.07) and at 10 mm, H' (10) for which internationally recommended conversion coefficients from air kerma or neutron fluence are available. These quantities are the calibration quantities for the measurement of individual dose equivalent, superficial, and individual dose equivalent, penetrating respectively. (U.K.)
