M.Froning, M.Schläger, M.V.ZoriyForschungszentrum Jülich
GmbH, S, 52425 Jülich, GermanyIntroduction: In accordance
with the German Radiation Protection Ordinance the Competent
Incorporation Measurement Body at Jülich (CIMB-J) is
notified for in-vivo and in-vitro assessments of internal
dose in the surveillance of occupational radiation workers.
Activities within this testing field are accredited
according to the German adaption of ISO/IEC 17025:2005.
Besides to the research centre Jülich (JÜLICH) itsself
CIMB-J offers its services to national and international
customers. About 2000 assessments are performed
annually.Testing methods: Testing methods used include
ICP-MS, Low-Level Beta counting, LSC, Alpha spectrometry and
whole-body counting. There is a large range of radionuclides
that can be assessed. Examples in excretion analysis (urine,
faeces) are among others H-3, C-14, Sr-90, Tc-99, Po-210 and
isotopes of Th, U and Cm. The whole-body counter can count
gamma-rays in the energy range of ~25-2000 keV and perform
organ measurements (e.g. thyroid). Typical radionuclides
measured are Mn-54, Mn-56, Cr-51, Fe-59, Co-60, Zn-65,
Tc-99m, I-125, I-133 and Cs-137. Testing parameters include
activity, specific activity, mass (ICP-MS) and individual
body dose. Quality assurance: CIMB-J puts a lot of effort
into assuring the quality of its testing results. Details
are given in a seperate contribution to this
conference.Flexible scope of accreditation: The flexible
scope is associated with a certain freedom in choosing
testing procedures. The modification of existing methods as
well as the development and introduction of new procedures
makes an immediate reaction to changed requirements feasible
and supports the continual improvement process of CIMB-J.
Advantages of recent new procedures and modified methods
include better detection limits, assessment of additional
isotopes and improved cost-efficiency as well as reduction
of processing times, downtimes and hazard potentials.Dose
assessment: For German customers dose generally must be
calculated according to a German guideline for incorporation
monitoring. Experts at CIMB-J are familiar with
international guidance documents (e.g.ICRP). Expert software
(e.g. IMIE, IDEAS) is used in support of special
assessments.Reporting: Reports of testing results to the
customers agree with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025.
CIMB-J is allowed to use the ILAC-Symbol on its reports.
This certifies the international recognition of testing
results. National Dose Registry: For incorporation
measurements within the ambit of the German Radiation
Protection Ordinance results are routinely reported to the
National Dose Registry.Mobile in-vivo monitoring: JÜLICH
operates mobile in-vivo counters. There the detection of
Cs-137 and Co-60 are of special interest. Past and present
projects include e.g. assessments at SNTS (1995) and
Chernobyl follow-up studies (1991-today). A WBC for babies
and toddlers is available.},
