A catalogue of dosemeters and dosimetric services within EU member state and switzerland Able to estimate external radiation doses as Personal dose equivalent

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of dosemeters and dosimetric services within EU member states and Switzerland which are able to estimate external radiation doses as personal dose equivalent, H_p(d). The total number of dosimetric service sin the EU and Switzerland is estimated to be approximately 200. Questionnaires requesting information on various topics concerning the dosimetric systems used, were sent to these services. Of the dosimetric services that responded, 45 reported that they estimate the external radiation doses as personal dose equivalent, H_p(10) and H_p(0.07).
