Methods and advantages of intercomparisons of TLDs for environmental monitoring

One of the most difficult tasks facing the international community is the monitoring of environmental radiation for potential increases due to facility accidents or weapons activity. Monitoring networks have been established to provide a record of natural background radiation as well as measure any radiation releases from a facility. Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) are an important element of such networks and are the most widely used passive detector for environmental monitoring. In order to reach a high international standard in the application of TLDs in routine environmental monitoring, there is a need for intercomparisons. In the paper a short review of international intercomparisons, as well as the performance test of the new dosimeter systems and the protocol for intercomparison of TL dosimeters in the environment are described.
