Some aspects of solid state dosimetry in Europe

Solid state dosimetry in Europe will be analysed through the activities of the European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) mostly from the viewpoint of personal, environmental and medical dosimetry. An overview of the dosimetric methods and services for the individual monitoring of external exposure will be given with special attention to the application of radiophotoluminecence (RPL) glass dosimetry in addition to film and thermoluminescence (TL) dosimetry. The implementation of standards, efforts on harmonisation of dosimetric methods for external exposure and the quality control and reliability of reported doses will be discussed. Some special medical dosimetry applications (in paediatric X-ray diagnostics, computerised thomography) will also be reviewed. The task of environmental monitoring is the collection of well documented data on radiation doses in the environment. Some highlights of TL and RPL dosimetry systems in environmental monitoring, as well as the importance of intercomparison in environmental dose measurements will be presented.
