In June-November 2014, NRCRM jointly with the State Inspectorate for Nuclear Regulation of Ukraine has performed the first national intercalibration for laboratories of individual monitoring in Ukraine. It was attended by 18 laboratories with 19 IDM systems (one laboratory participated with two systems). These laboratories monitor 37,471 persons, accounting for about 75% of the total staff of category A in Ukraine. As a result of the First National intercalibration, we can draw the following conclusions: 1) 55% of category A staff is controlled by laboratories of high-quality performance that meets international requirements and standards of quality; 2) a significant portion (37%) of staff receives IDM of the quality which doesn't formally meet the requirements of the international standard ISO 14146, but can be effectively improved in a short time by corrective actions; 3) about 8% of staff obtaines entirely inadequate dose monitoring, the results of which can not provide the proper level for radiation safety personnel; 4) some labs do not use passive IDM systems which are the basis of the current individual monitoring and assessment of personnel exposure levels according to NRBU-97 regulations; 5) there is no information about the quality of doses for significant quantity of laboratories that control category A, staff exposure but did not take part in the first national intercalibration. Forms of implementation: aт information letter on intercalibration to be disseminated among organizations - users, State Nuclear Regulatory Committee etc. and an analytical reference, whose purpose is to inform Government as well as central executive bodies, agencies on the status of radiation monitoring of occupational exposure and ways to improve it.
