Abstract
An approach to the assessment of overall uncertainty of dose reconstru ction by means of an ESR with additive dose technique is proposed. Thi s approach takes account of uncertainties caused by different sources giving a quantitative measure of uncertainty of the determined dose. D ose is determined as an interval assessment rather than a deterministi c value, allowing for the analytical estimation of both the mean value and the 95% confidence intervals. The effects of the number of additi onal irradiations and the value of dose increment on the uncertainty o f dose determination are analyzed. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
