Abstract

In this paper the main influence quantities of optical density of Agfa Personal Monitoring film which have a significant component of uncertainty of dose measurement are treated and discussed. The energy and angle dependence for photographic dosemeter were studied for different energies and angles. The aim of this paper is to present and compare the impact on the uncertainty of dose measurement of these influence quantities, in order to review the accuracy of photographic dosemeter for fulfilling the newest EU Technical Recommendations.
