Measurement units used in dosimetry of ionizing radiations and in providing protection from them

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    GOST8848-63 does not correspond to the ICRU recommendations (1962) and should be revised.

  2. 2.

    It is necessary to adhere to the International Recommendations (ICRU) and use the generally-accepted units (rad, ber, röntgen) until a new Standard is adopted (if GOST8848-63 is cancelled).

  3. 3.

    We consider it inadvisable to introduce unilaterally new ionizing radiations units. It is necessary to aim at agreed decisions by the International Commission on Radiological Units.
