Tiivistelmä
In case of a nuclear reactor accident affecting a large population the internal contamination of the workers and
the public can be assessed through in vivo measurements. Since iodine-131 is one of the most important releases
and since it is of health concern, thyroid monitoring of this radionuclide is of special interest.
Intercomparisons of thyroid in vivo measurements usually focus on the adult case. Here we report about a
European intercomparison exercise for spectroscopic devices. Three sets of thyroid phantoms of unknown activity
were circulated, representing the following ages: 5 years-old, 10 years-old and the adult.
Nineteen institutions from twelve countries in Europe took part in an intercomparison exercise. Twenty-nine
measurement devices have been tested. In the adult case, 5 results were outside the acceptance criteria and 10 in
the 10-years old case. In the 5 years-old case, the result was not reported for one measurement device and 11
results were outside the acceptance criteria. Devices that have been tested during this intercomparison now
dispose of calibration coefficients for the three age groups.
