Reference dosimetry for inter-laboratory comparison on retrospective dosimetry techniques in realistic field irradiation experiment using 192Ir

Reflections on the future developments of research in retrospective physical dosimetry

“…RENEB ("Running the European Network in Biodosimetry", www.reneb.net) is an operational network of biological and physical laboratories [42]. Networks dedicated to research are the European Radiation Dosimetry Group, EURADOS (eurados.org), the Asian Radiation Dosimetry Group, ARADOS (https://www.nirs.qst.go.jp/usr/ ARADOS) and the Korea Retrospective Dosimetry Network, KREDOS [43]. EURADOS published a Strategic Research Agenda [44] and a 5-year Roadmap [45], which include strategic actions for RD aimed at improvement, consolidation, and standardization of existing radiation markers; and identification and development of new markers.…”

“…Field tests exercises (Table 2) were also carried out (e.g., Refs. [43,88,119,120]; here, irradiations were made in more realistic conditions, with mobile phones and other materials placed on anthropomorphic phantoms. The participants were required to use the protocols used in Refs.…”
