Testing of the Siemens EPD MK2 Final Report of Tasking W28476KROOX (DSSPM)

Abstract

Defense Services Procurement Project 00002199 tasked DREO to test the new Siemens EPD Mk2 (an electronic personal dosimeter) at DREO's various irradiation facilities. The dependence of the response on dose rate, energy, and temperature were all studied. This dosimeter was found to be comparable to the DMC 2000S electronic dosimeter produced by Merlin-Guerin Products (MGP), although each has some particular advantages over the other. This dosimeter is an appropriate product for use as an electronic dosimeter by the Canadian Forces in a wide variety of radiation fields.
