PAC 6: Radiation Measurements and Dosimetry

Program Area Committee (PAC) 6 is responsible for oversight of activities related to radiation measurements and dosimetry. Functioning within the scope of PAC 6 are five report-writing committees: SC 6-2 on Radiation Exposure of the U.S. Population, SC 6-3 on Uncertainties in Internal Radiation Dosimetry, SC 6-4 on Fundamental Practices and Principles of Dose Reconstruction, SC 6-6 on Skin Doses from Dermal Contamination, and SC 6-7 on Evaluation of Inhalation Doses in Scenarios Involving Resuspension by Nuclear Detonations at the Nevada Test Site.

Currently authorized but unfunded activities within this program area are:

aerosol measurements
assessment of measurement methodologies for environmental indicators of past releases (joint with PAC 5)
biological dosimetry
evaluation of ultrasensitive measurement techniques
guidance on measurements for quality assurance and verification for conformal radiation therapy
update of NCRP Report No. 58 "Handbook of Radioactivity Measurements"
