Personal and environmental dosimetry

Personal dosimetry is a well-established field, but still constantly new developments are introduced. SCK•CEN's Radiation Protection Dosimetry and Calibration expert group is testing and improving many new techniques, and introduces them in practical applications.

We focus on active personal dosemeters, thermoluminescent detectors and optically stimulated luminescent detectors. For this last technique we have developed different read-out set-ups, to study different materials in different applications.

Monte Carlo techniques are very important for dosimetric research. We have many years of experience in these techniques, using different codes for all types of radiation protection applications.
