Stanford Dosimetry has algorithm solutions to satisfy the new DOELAP.

DOE is preparing to revise the DOELAP proficiency testing standard, adopting most if not all of ANSI N13.11-2001. This major revision, the first in 20 years, will require new or revised dose algorithms for all DOE dosimetry processors. Differences between the 1986 DOELAP standard (DOE/EH-0027) and ANSI N13.11-2001 include:

• New photon dose conversion factors, especially critical at low energies;
• Testing to a broad range of photon energies, not just the six discrete fields of the 1986 DOELAP;
• Angular irradiations for photons.

Stanford Dosimetry has working dose algorithms designed for many dosimeter types that meet the tough new proficiency testing requirements of ANSI N13.11-2001. With over 500,000 doses calculated annually using our dose algorithms, this design has been proven for Panasonic TLD (UD-802; UD-802A2; UD-814A4; UD-812/809 pair; and the UD-802/809 pair) as well as several OSL dosimeter types. Our approach is applicable to all multi-element dosimeter types.

If you would like to receive more information on evaluating the readiness of your current dose algorithm, or contracting for a revised algorithm, please click here and tell us what dosimeter you are using. We will respond with a plan to get you ready for the new standard. We can also help with ensuring that the rest of your dosimetry program meets the upcoming standard, including satisfaction of ISO/IEC 17025-2005.
