[National primary standard of absorbed dose rate to water using a graphite calorimeter].

The calibration service in terms of absorbed dose to water started from 2011 after establishment of the national primary standard using a graphite calorimeter at the national metrology institute of Japan (NMIJ) and JCSS accreditation of the association for nuclear technology in medicine (ANTM). Accordingly, a new dosimetry protocol was introduced as JSMP12, in which details of the national standard were also described. This report presents a short review of the standard, a key comparison result, and a comparison result of calibration coefficients by JSMP01 and JSMP12.
