[en] The radiation protection is a many-folded science and practice including the solid state dosimetry, SSD, too. Results and state-of-the-art of SSD are mostly reported on subsequent conferences devoted to this subject. The conference programme statistics is summarized

[en] At the conference on 'Liquid Scintillation Counting 92' improved methods of sample preparation and better instrumentation were presented. A short overview is given in this article. (rieger)

[en] Country-wide measuring network for nuclear monitoring have been set up in Hungary by NBC Defence Technical Department of Hungarian Army. This paper describes the aim and the structure of the monitoring system

[en] The new respiratory model of ICRP, developed to be adapted to particular situations is rather complicated, but it does not present difficulties to be solved analytically. A mathematical simplification is proposed and the obtained retention and transfer functions are compared with those resulting from the previous model

[en] In this work the efforts which research workers have made in Slovenia in the last five years towards public information and education in the field of radioactivity and radiation are reviewed in condensed form. The most important examples of books, booklets, articles and TV-series are presented

[en] Radon concentration in outdoor air is generally considered as relatively low and can, therefore, be neglected. However, there are particular cases featuring considerable radon concentrations and typical daily hydrographs. Then, it is necessary to incorporate the outdoor air parameters in the calculation of air changes also essentially affecting the energy consumption in a building. In Germany, the requirement not to exceed the upper limit of normal range amounting to 250 Bq/m³ as long-term average value shall be met for common rooms. To ensure this, generally not applicable measures for decreasing concentration are explained

[en] The evaluation of occupation radiation exposures (ORE) for Czech Republic during 1975 - 1990 period is presented. The greatest number of workers (about 20000) is controlled by National Dosimetric Service, about 9000 persons is monitored by dosimetric services of the uranium industry and nuclear power plants. ORE are evaluated periodically in intervals of one or three months. Evaluation of ORE to radon and its daughters in the uranium industry is based on combination of the measurement of radon and its daughters concentration in air and the data of the exposure time

[en] The dosimetry services of Austria issuing personal dosimeters for photon radiation need to be authorized and are subject to a monthly metrological control by the BEV. For this purpose a sample of 20 to 100 dosimeters from each dosimetry service is irradiated monthly and the indications of these dosimeters have to comply with a performance standard. Some measurement results are presented

[en] During a workshop the experiences for mobile laboratories for monitoring radiological impact were presented and discussed. An in-field demonstration was followed by intercomparison of the results of the dose rate measuring devices of the participating nine European institutions. The results agreed well within an acceptable error. (rieger)

[en] Recent international standards issued by ICRP and ICRU are using terms such as dose equivalent and equivalent dose, both well established as well as recently coined. The development is discussed briefly. Although these quantities are well defined, there is still some confusion because the quantities have different aims. In addition, local problems as translation into German are increasing the confusion
