In this part of work carried out by Working Group 9 (Radiation Protection Dosimetry in Medicine) of the European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS), water tank experiments described in this issue (Bordy et al., 2013) were extended to a BOMAB-like phantom. This phantom is more clinically realistic than a water tank, sufficiently to allow the simula...

An irradiation facility and the characteristics of the measurement devices are described that are capable to determine the absorbed dose to water in an intense mixed neutronphoton field. The collimated irradiation field of the PTB has a diameter of approximately 40 mm and is generated with the cyclotron beam via the d(E_d = 13.3 MeV)+Be reaction. A...

This report presents the results of radioactivity monitoring in the vicinity of nuclear installations in the year 2003. Monitoring activities comprise the measurement of local gamma dose rates, aerosols and precipitation in the surrounding area, as well as examinations on soil, vegetation, vegetable foods, milk and dairy products, surface waters, s...
The number of monitored persons in 2002 amounted to some 310,000, thus more or less maintaining the same level for the fourth year in a row. Around 15% of all monitored persons received a measurable-whole body dose. In the time from 1999 to 2002 the mean annual dose of these persons decreased by approximately one quarter. The 2002 mean annual value...
The Federal Office of Radiation Protection awards research projects in the field of radiation protection on the behalf of the Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). The findings of these projects serve as decision-making aids in the development of radiation protection regulations as well as in the fulfilment of the B...
