Passive Solid State Dosimeters In Environmental Monitoring

  • Conference paper

Environmental dosimetry systems have to fulfil the requirement to measure the man-made contribution to environmental radiation (1:10) under variable environmental conditions (UV sunlight, humidity, temperature). The recently developed SC-1 flat RPL glass dosimeters with FGD-202 reader for environmental dosimetry were compared to various high sensitivity TL dosimeters. All characteristics of RPL and TL dosimeters investigated fulfil the requirements of the new IEC 61066:2006 Standard for personal and environmental dosimetry. To reach international standards and to improve the environmental dosimetry methods there is a need for intercomparisons. The protocol and the aim of the intercomparison are discussed.
