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

Abstract

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.
