Abstract

Following the specifications and test methods given by international standards IEC-61526 and ISO 4037, the dosimetry department of the IPSN studied the photon radiation performance of seven recent electronic personal dosemeters: The personal dosimetric performance of each piece of equipment was tested with X and gamma radiation between 12 keV and 1.25 MeV.
