Dosimetry in pulsed photon radiation fields

Further information: Problematik bei Messungen in gepulsten Photonen-Strahlungsfeldern and acquisition lists for measurements and studies about electronic personal dosemeters in pulsed photon radiaiton fields.

Dosemeter types and quantities:

Types of area and individual dosemeters for photon radiation, which are to be verified, must have been type-tested by PTB. Department 6.3 carries out tests only with regard to the current quantities in radiation protection.
