In 2014, the Center for Nuclear Technologies at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Nutech) inaugurated the " Laboratory for Fundamental Medical Dosimetry " (LFMD) at Risø Campus near Roskilde. The laboratory has been made possible through a large donation from the John and Birthe Meyer Foundation. The objective of this presentation is to outline the design of the new laboratory, and to highlight specific work related to the characterization of radiation protection instruments for measurements in pulsed beams.
