Area of Science:

Medical Physics and Radiation Protection
Dosimetry and Radiation Detection

Background:

Active personal dosemeters (APDs) are widely used and accepted for individual dosimetry.
There is growing interest in understanding APD behavior in pulsed radiation fields.
Current use of APDs is primarily for operational dosimetry, despite suitability for legal dosimetry in continuous fields.

Purpose of the Study:

To review recent studies (last 5 years) on APD performance in pulsed fields.
To identify and discuss the deficiencies of APDs in pulsed fields.
To propose solutions to overcome these deficiencies and summarize trends in APD development and use.

Main Methods:

Literature review of representative studies on APD performance in pulsed fields.
Analysis of APD behavior and limitations in pulsed radiation environments.
Examination of approval procedures for APDs, including specific national approaches (e.g., Germany).

Main Results:

APDs exhibit deficiencies when used in pulsed radiation fields.
Proposals for overcoming APD limitations in pulsed fields have been identified.
Despite no legal or technical barriers, APDs are predominantly used as operational dosemeters.

Conclusions:

Addressing the deficiencies of APDs in pulsed fields is crucial for expanding their application.
Standardization of approval procedures, like Germany's approach, could facilitate wider acceptance.
Future trends suggest continued development and evolving use of APDs in radiation monitoring.
