Three exercises are described: exposure to an anterior-posterior (AP) photon point source, exposure to an AP neutron point source, and exposure to two typical medical X-ray examinations. The three exercises received 17, 8 and 8 solutions, respectively. Participants originated from fifteen different countries, and used a wide range of Monte Carlo codes. Due to difficulties in defining the precise source location unambiguously in the exercise description, agreement to within ~10% of the reference solution was considered satisfactory for a given participant’s results. Although some participants provided initial solutions in good agreement with the reference solutions, differences Radiation Measurements 150 Keywords: Monte Carlo ICRP reference phantom Organ absorbed dose Huet, Christelle Eakins, Jonathan Zankl, Maria G´omez-Ros, Jos´e María Jansen, Jan Moraleda, Montserrat Struelens, Lara Akar, Deepak K.
