This document is the Experimental Set-up and Design (CED-3a) Report for IER-602, “Dosimetry Exercise with Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI) - Exercise” The report discusses the structure of the exercise consisting of three reactor exposures, identifying the participating laboratories and their points of contact. The report also includes details of all dosimetry each laboratory will submit to be placed in proximity to AFRRI on aluminum plates or BOMAB phantoms. Each laboratory lists the counting and spectroscopy equipment to be utilized at AFFRI. The exercise is tentatively scheduled for one week in June, 2024 (FY24 Q4).
