RESULTS OF THE IAEA RCA PERSONAL DOSIMETER INTERCOMPARISON IN THE ASIAN AND PACIFIC REGION/

In 1988, the International Atomic Energy Agency started the Regional C o-operative Agreement project for strengthening the radiation protecti on infrastructure in the Asian and Pacific region. One component of th e initial programme was a regional personal dosimetry intercomparison, which was subsequently conducted in three phases over three years dur ing the period 1990 to 1992. Seventeen organisations of all 14 member states participated in the programmes. Irradiations and data compilati on were conducted by the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. This paper describes the results of the intercomparison programmes and disc usses some features and personal dosimetry problems in the RCA member states.
