Initial Results of the Nuclear Accident Dosimetry Intercomparison at the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute's TRIGA Reactor
This report presents the initial results for IER-602, the international nuclear accident dosimetry intercomparison performed at the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI). Ten groups participated (six DOE laboratories, three international groups, and one DOD group) in a week-long exercise in late June 2024. Two additional groups observed the exercise (one DOE laboratory, one university). Three days of irradiations were performed, and participants reported results within 24 hours of the irradiations. Results were compared to the reference values and performance criteria established by IER-484 AFRRI ER1 Dosimetry Characterization and ANSI/HPS N13.3-2013, respectively. Passing performance varied from 17% to 100%, with an average of 67%.
