IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW ICRU OPERATIONAL QUANTITIES FOR USE IN RADIATION PROTECTION

Objective

THIS PROPOSAL WILL PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ON DOSIMETRY FOR THE PROTECTION OF WORKERS AND THE POPULATION. NEW CONCEPTS AND QUANTITIES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED INTO RADIATION PROTECTION PRACTICE.
The use of new secondary quantities for external radiation exposure requires the choice of suitable phantoms on which to calibrate personal dosimeters when determining their energy and angle dependence of response. The tissue equivalent sphere is a suitable phantom for dosimeters designed to be worn on the trunk. However, material of soft tissue composition cannot be produced and also a sphere is an inconvenient shape for routine calibration.
1. INVESTIGATION INTO THE CHOICE OF PHANTOM SHAPE FOR THE CALIBRATION OF PERSONAL DOSEMETERS IN TERMS OF THE NEW OPERATIONAL QUANTITIES.
2. FIELD MEASUREMENTS OF PHOTON ENERGY AND ANGLE SPECTRAL DISTRIBUTION, THE DETERMINATION OF AREA DOSE EQUIVALENT, INDIVIDUAL DOSE EQUIVALENT AND EFFECTIVE DOSE EQUIVALENT AND THEIR COMPARISONS.
