Abstract
The five Canadian external dosimetry processors have participated in a two-stage intercomparison. In the first stage, dosimeters were exposed to known radiation fields under controlled laboratory conditions. In the second stage, dosimeters were exposed to radiation fields in power reactor working environments. The results for whole-body doses have been reported in 1989 (INFO-331). The analysis of the skin dose data has now been completed and the results are represented here. It was found that the uncertainty in skin dose measurements is greater than in the whole-body case. Discrepancies between processors can arise in the final dosimetry results because of differences in the algorithms used, errors in processing or correction, and handling procedures particular to certain processors.
