External Dosimetry

The External Dosimetry Group provides dosimetry to individuals who require radiation exposure monitoring at Argonne

Dosimetry is the application of principles and techniques involved in the measurement and recording of personnel dose from external sources of radiation.

The objective of external dosimetry is the accurate assessment of personnel exposure to radiation outside of the body. This is accomplished through wearing a dosimeter for radiological work.

Training

Individuals are required to complete training on workplace hazards associated with radiological tasks before being allowed to use dosimeters.
