Third phase of pocket-sized electronic dosimeter testing
The experiences of industrial radiographers have indicated that electronic radiation-warning devices become inoperative when they are used under some types of ambient conditions. This report, as a follow-up to NUREG/CR-0554 and NUREG/CR-1452, documents the nature of tests performed on several additional commercially available models. None of the four models tested passed the tests for ruggedness and severe environmental conditions. However, all models passed most of the requirements of a Health Physics Society draft standard of performance specifications for these devices. The test procedures used in the project and the results obtained are discussed. Conclusions from the tests and recommendations concerning potentially useful modifications to existing devices are presented.
