In the case of a nuclear accident or a radiological emergency, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), as a designated public corporation assigned in the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Act and the Armed Attack Situation Response Law, undertakes technical supports to the national government and local governments. The JAEA is requested to support to evaluate radiation doses to residents in a nuclear emergency, which is specified in the Basic Disaster Management Plan and the Nuclear Emergency Response Manual. For the dose evaluation, however, its strategy, target, method, structure and so on have not been determined either specifically or in detail. This report describes the results of investigation and consideration discussed in the "Working Group for Radiation Dose Evaluation at a Nuclear Emergency" established within the Nuclear Emergency Assistance and Training Center to discuss technical supports for radiation dose evaluation to residents in the case of a nuclear emergency, and aims at contributing to specific and detailed discussion and activities in the future for the national government and local governments, also within the JAEA.

Characteristics of the polyvinyl chloride films containing 0.11wt% of malachite green oxalate or 6GX-setoglausine with 100m in thickness were studied for use as routine dosimeters in radiation processing. These films show basically color bleaching under $^{60}$ Co -ray irradiation in a dose range of 5 to 50 kGy. The sensitivity of the dosimeters and the linearity of dose response curves are improved by adding 2.5% of chloral hydrate [CClCH(OH)] and 0.15% hydroquinone [HOCHOH]. These additions extent the minimum dose limit to 1 kGy covering dosimetric quality assurance in radiation processing of food and healthcare products. The dose responses of both films at irradiation temperatures of 20-35 $^{circ}$ C are constant relative to those at 25 $^{circ}$ C, and the irradiation temperature coefficients for 35-55 $^{circ}$ C were estimated to be (0.43 0.01)%/ $^{circ}$ C. The dosimeter characteristics are stable within 1% at 25 $^{circ}$ C before and 60 days after irradiation.

In Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, a new type radiophotoluminescent(RPL) glass dosimeter is recently adopted replaced film badge for external personal monitoring. Some fundamental characteristics of this dosimeter, such as dose dependence linearity, energy dependence, dose evaluation accuracy against mixed irradiation condition,fading, etc.,were examined at the Facility of Radiation Standard(FRS),JAERI. The results have proved that the RPL glass dosimeter has sufficient characteristics in practical use as a personal dosimeter for all of the items examined.
