EURADOS whole-body dosemeters intercomparisons: lessons learnt from individual results.

Every 2 years since 2008, Eurados WG2 has organised a whole-body dosemeters intercomparison (IC) in photon and beta fields. This paper presents the information that individual participants can extract from their results. The irradiation plan of each IC was designed to allow participants check the performance of some important characteristics of their dosimetry systems, in particular: linearity, angular response, energy response and response to mixed fields. The analysis of anomalous responses indicates that many systems can reduce the number of outliers by improving their calibration procedures.
