Results of the 1999 Intercomparison for individual Monitoring of Radiological Measurements for Monitoring Purposes

This report presents the results, the analysis and the conclusions drawn at the end of the Intercomparison for Individual Monitoring of Radiological measurements for monitoring purposes carried out by the IAEA in 1999. The purpose of this intercomparison was to examine the performance of personnel dosimetry systems in different IAEA member states. The used radiation fields were similar to those encountered in practical routine monitoring. These fields included, for a dose range from 3 mSv to 30 mSv, normally incident and wide angle fields for radiation qualities from the ISO wide spectrum series. Nearly 80 % of all participating services satisfied the evaluation criteria on overall accuracy for all fields.
