Abstract

A series of measurements was peformed between KAERI and PNNL, U.S.A at KAERI secondary calibration laboratory to intercompare and verify the KAERI reference photon radiation fields by using air equivalent plastic walled ionization chambers, Different ionization chambers of two laboratories were used to determine the air kerma rate, free-in-air, at reference positions in the KAERI photon radiation fields, As the results, the agreement in the cross measurements between two laboratories was found to be within less than ${\pm}$ 3 %. This degree of consistency was considered to be encouraging, because each laboratory maintains independently its calibration traceablity with its national primary standard
