“…In RD, there is no agreed dose quantity or concept for assessing the level of exposure of the individual and their immediate medical care needs [124]; ICRU, 2019). Attempts have been made to explore quantities to estimate whole-body dose [125], to derive factors that correlate them with doses as a function of exposure conditions [123,126,127], and to produce pre-tabulated databases of conversion coefficients (personal communication by J. Eakins) [128]. produced an operational tool based on calculated dose conversion coefficients from EPR fortuitous dosimeter to organ-and whole-body for photons and neutrons in several accident exposures (source at 1 m, in a pocket, in a hand, and contaminated floor).…”

“…The absorbed doses estimated using the resistors and display glass of the phones will be compared to reference dosimeters (LUXEL, glass, GR200) placed on the surface of, and inside, the phones. The absorbed doses to the resistors and display glasses will be related to organ absorbed doses using conversion factors previously reported elsewhere (71,72) and new ones simulated using GEANT4 and MCNP, and compared to the reference organ doses as measured in the phantoms using TL, RPL and OSL dosimeters.…”

“…The second article will focus on the practical use of dose conversion coefficients in the field test, and consider how measured doses from different materials/locations can be related to each other and to a single common dose (i.e., a ''whole-body dose''). The general aim of the second article will be to discuss the pros/ cons of using bespoke simulations to relate retrospective dosimeter doses to ''whole-body'' doses in a non-uniform exposure scenario, relative to alternatively using precalculated tables of generic conversion coefficients (71,72).…”

With the use of ionizing radiation comes the risk of accidents and malevolent misuse. When unplanned exposures occur, there are several methods which can be used to retrospectively reconstruct individual radiation exposures; biological methods include analysis of aberrations and damage of chromosomes and DNA, while physical methods rely on luminescence (TL/OSL) or EPR signals. To ensure the quality and dependability of these methods, they should be evaluated under realistic exposure conditions. In 2019, EURADOS Working Group 10 and RENEB organized a field test with the purpose of evaluating retrospective dosimetry methods as carried out in potential real-life exposure scenarios. A 1.36 TBq 192 Ir source was used to irradiate anthropomorphic phantoms in different geometries at doses of several Gy in an outdoor open-air geometry. Materials intended for accident dosimetry (including mobile phones and blood) were placed on the phantoms together with reference dosimeters (LiF, NaCl, glass). The objective was to estimate radiation exposures received by individuals as measured using blood and fortuitous materials, and to evaluate these methods by comparing the estimated doses to reference measurements and Monte Carlo simulations. Herein we describe the overall planning, goals, execution and preliminary outcomes of the 2019 field test. Such field tests are essential for the development of new and existing methods. The outputs from this field test include useful experience in terms of planning and execution of future exercises, with respect to time management, radiation protection, and reference dosimetry to be considered to obtain relevant data for analysis.
