The purpose of this exercise was to continue United States, United Kingdom, and France collaborative activities performing Nuclear Accident Dosimetry intercomparison. IER 148 was the inaugural intercomparison exercise using the Godiva reactor at the DAF. In contrast to IER 148, in the current exercise participants were “blind” to the known doses during the exercise, to simulate the dosimetry response to a real criticality incident. This document is the Final Exercise (CED-x) Report for IER-253, “International Intercomparison Exercise for Nuclear Accident Dosimetry at the DAF Using Flattop.” The report describes the structure and results of the exercise consisting of two irradiations. The details of all dosimetry elements and their placement in proximity to Flattop on support stands or phantoms was unknown to participating laboratories. The participating laboratories in this report are deidentified and the report summarizes participant results from the intercomparison. The exercise occurred during the week of May 21, 2018.
