Intercomparison on measurements of the quantity personal dose equivalent Hp(10) in photon fields in the African region.
An intercomparison was arranged by the International Atomic Energy Agency for the African region for personal dose equivalent. This was arranged with a view to helping member states to comply with dose limitation requirements and to harmonise the use of internationally agreed quantities and recommended assessment methods. The scope of the intercomparison was aimed at passive dosemeters, which determine the personal dose equivalent in photon radiation fields. The comparison protocol is presented together with the results.
