His delegation was particularly interested in the experience it had acquired in radiation dosimetry and radiobiological research.

Regarding the testing of persons working at ionizing radiation sources, measured doses received on thermoluminiscent dosimetry (TLD) are within the prescribed limits.

In addition, more emphasis is being put on such aspects as how to transfer radiation induced risks from one population to another, the potential for bias or confounding, the impact of errors in dosimetry, and other sources of uncertainty in radiation epidemiology studies.

With a view to further investigation of radiation conditions in orbit and to improving the resources available for space dosimetry, the micrometeorite situation along the flight track of the Mir station was monitored and the Spin 6000 experiment measuring gamma ray spectra in various parts of the orbital station was performed.
