How to use an operational dosimeter?
Until the month of March 2013:
At the entrance of Controlled Radiation Areas, you will find a form specifically for the registration of
received doses during the intervention (cf.: Figure 3). Every time you access the area, you must fill in a line
and complete every column. The DIMR number is replaced by the IMPACT number.
Figure 3: dosimetric registration sheets
New! From the month of March 2013 onwards:
A new automatic reading system for the DMCs has been put in place for the start of LS1 (cf.: Figure 4).
Figure 4: new system for automatically reading the operational dosimeters
in milli-sievert (mSv). In the example below,
one can read 0.468 mSv which is the
equivalent of 468 micro-sievert (µSv).
