Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the results obtained in the intercomparison exercise organized by the Ionizing Radiation Metrology Laboratory at the Federal University of Pernambuco (LMRI-DEN/UFPE) and the Radiation Physics and Metrology Laboratory (LAF-RAM) of the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua, Managua (UNAN-Managua). The comparison aimed to assess the technical capabilities of the Dosimetry Calibration Laboratory (LCD) belonging to LAF-RAM for the irradiation of personal dosimeters in terms of Hp(d) magnitudes with a ¹³⁷Cs radiation beam. The BeO OSL dosimeters were shipped by LMRI-DEN/UFPE to LAF-RAM for irradiation in March 2020. The evaluation of the Z-Score value obtained in the intercomparison was satisfactory for all irradiations of the dosimeters in the Hp (d) magnitude.
