Lessons learnt from the recent EURADOS intercomparisons in computational dosimetry

Organized by Working Group 6 "Computational Dosimetry" of the European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS), a group of intercomparison exercises was conducted in which participants were asked to solve predefined problems in computational dosimetry. The results of these comparisons were published in a series of articles in this virtual special issue of Radiation Measurements. This paper reviews the experience gained from the various exercises and highlights the resulting conclusions for future exercises, as well as regarding the state of the art and the need for development in terms of quality assurance for computational dosimetry techniques.

EURADOS Intercomparison on the Usage of the ICRP/ICRU Adult Reference Computational Phantoms

The European Radiation Dosimetry Group, EURADOS, has organised an intercomparison study on the usage of the ICRP/ICRU voxel reference computational phantoms together with radiation transport codes. Voluntary participants have been invited to solve specific tasks and provide solutions to the organisers before a certain deadline. The tasks to be solved are of practical interest in occupational, environmental and medical dosimetry. The aims of this training activity were to investigate if the phantoms have been correctly implemented in the radiation transport codes and to give the participants the opportunity to check their own calculations against quality-assured master solutions and improve their approach, if needed.
