AB  - Advancements in area monitoring caused by development of environmental monitoring networks which utilise active electronic dosimeters have led to widespread use of active area dosimeters. Currently, there are various sets of requirements for area dosimeters available in IEC standards. A clear distinction is not always made between requirements for area dosimeters used for workplace monitoring and that used for environmental monitoring. Performance testing methods related to the radiation characteristics were examined in a number of standards. Out of this, criteria in terms of relative response limits of variation have been derived for photon energy, angle of incidence and dose rate non-linearity for both dosimeter use cases. Testing of several active area dosimeters which are used for environmental monitoring has been performed in a wide range of photon energy, angle of incidence and dose rate. The collected requirements for environmental and workplace area dosimetry imply that some harmonization of IEC standards for area dosimeters is needed.

AB  - Concerning ionising radiation monitoring in the environment in areas which, by normal means, are inaccessible, e.g. in contaminated areas after a nuclear or radiological incident, the use of highly mobile systems, comprising of unmanned airborne vehicles equipped with ionising radiation detector, is advised in order to protect the health and the life of first responders. As a promising candidate, the compact solid-state spectrometer based on CdZnTe is characterised by performing irradiations in the reference radionuclide radiation fields of PTB. The energydependent conversion coefficients are derived from recorded pulse-height spectra, and they enable calculation of the operational radiation protection quantity, ambient dose equivalent rate, directly from the spectrum without deconvolution. The validity of the conversion coefficients was evaluated by determining the deviation of the calculated dose rate from the reference ambient dose equivalent rate for the 226Ra radionuclide, available at the Underground Dosimetry Laboratory (UDO II) of PTB. By employing the derived conversion coefficients, the detector “linearity” (dose rate dependence of the response) was checked in the 137Cs reference fields of different ambient dose equivalent rates ranging from 25 nSv/h up to 1 μSv/h. The deviation of the calculated 226Ra dose rate from the achieved reference value was +2%.
