The Human Monitoring Laboratory (HML) has used the International Commission on Radiological Protection's Report on Reference Man and Canadian anthropomorphic data as guidance to design and construct a family of phantoms corresponding to Reference Man (PM), Reference Woman (PF), Reference Ten-Year-Old (P10), Reference Four-Year-Old (P4), Ninety-five Percentile Man (PM95), and Five Percentile Man (PM5). The PM series also has an accessory chest section (PMacc) to better simulate lung depositions. The phantoms are constructed from high-density polyethylene and fitted with end-recessed filling caps to minimize leakage problems. This paper describes the methodology of construction and presents data so that the phantoms can be reproduced. The phantoms have been used in Canada's National in-vivo Intercomparison Program, and results show that all Canadian in-vivo counting facilities have size-dependent calibrations. Selected data are presented to exemplify this dependence.
