Description
Summary:	EURADOS Working Group 3 (WG3) aims at providing information about the correct measurement of the ambient dose equivalent (rate) in the environment and has a specific subgroup (WG3-SG2) that focuses on passive environmental dosimetry. One of the initial tasks of the subgroup was to gain an overview of passive dosimetry practices in Europe. On the basis of a survey carried out by this subgroup in 2013/2014, information on the state-of-the-art was gained, several conclusions were drawn and some open questions have been identified, e.g. the harmonization in the terminology, uncertainty assessment procedures and corrections of measured values by passive dosemeters due to transport and climate.
