Summary
The second Personnel Dosimeter Intercomparison Study (PDIS) was conducted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's DOSAR Facility during the period February 18-19, 1976. Eleven independent organizations participated in an intercomparison of neutron and gamma-ray dosimeters used for routine personnel dosimetry. The dosimeters, which were shipped to the DOSAR Facility, were exposed at the Health Physics Research Reactor to one of three ''standardized'' radiation fields which have been used for the past several years for intercomparing nuclear accident dosimeters. The results of PDIS reveal that estimates of dose equivalent vary over a wide range. For a given radiation field these dose estimates may vary by more than a factor of 2, indicating the need for continued evaluation of the response of personnel dosimeters used in mixed fields of neutron and gamma radiation.
