Interlaboratory comparison studies are important for radiation dosimetry in order to demonstrate how the technique is universally available. The set of standard samples are examined in each participating laboratory in the present study. After a set of standard samples together with the samples with unknown doses, which were prepared in the same laboratory as the standard samples, are measured at a participating laboratory, those samples are sent to another participating laboratory for next measurement. There is some small difference observed in the sensitivity (the slope of the dose response line) of the standard samples while the differences in the obtained doses for the samples with unknown doses are rather systematic, implying that the difference is mostly due to the samples but not to measurements.

The number of research reactors in the world is decreasing because of their aging. However, the planning to introduce the nuclear power plants is increasing in Asian countries. In these Asian countries, the key issue is the human resource development for operation and management of nuclear power plants after constructed them, and also the necessity of research reactor, which is used for lifetime extension of LWRs, progress of the science and technology, expansion of industry use, human resources training and so on, is increasing. From above backgrounds, the Neutron Irradiation and Testing Reactor Center began to discuss basic concept of a multipurpose low-power research reactor for education and training, etc. This design study is expected to contribute not only to design tool improvement and human resources development in the Neutron Irradiation and Testing Reactor Center but also to maintain and upgrade the technology on research reactors in nuclear power-related companies. This report treats the activities of the working group from July 2010 to June 2011 on the multipurpose low-power research reactor in the Neutron Irradiation and Testing Reactor Center and nuclear power-related companies.

A method to estimate complex refractive index of dielectric aerosols is developed. For the purpose, three-dimensional radiative transfer problem in an absorbing-scattering media is solved by the Monte Carlo method. The Mie.s scattering theory is used to handle particle scattering and absorption. Magnesium oxide aerosol, whose complex index of refraction is well known, is selected as the example of the dielectric aerosol. Magnesium is burnt to produce MgO aerosol and the transmission of the radiation from a black body furnace through the aerosol layer is measured. By comparing the analytical results of transmitted energy profile along the wall facing the emission resource, black body furnace, obtained for a wide range of the complex index of refraction, with the experimental results, it is shown that the value of the complex refractive index of the aerosol can be estimated.

To estimate the external exposure dose using electron spin resonance technique, we use a "standard sample" which were prepared at each laboratory with each preparation protocol. It is necessary to unite the preparation protocol for the "real" standard sample. In the point of view of the enamel extraction method, no difference was observed for five dose responses between the absorbed dose and the CO radical intensity.
