Use of light source for testing thermoluminescent dosimeter readers.
نویسنده
چکیده
It is a common practice to check the performance of a TLD reader by inserting a light source composed of a phosphor mixed with a radioactive material, e.g., 14C . The response to the light source is used as a measure of a) the calibration or long-term stability of the reader and b) the ability of the reader to reproduce a constant signal. Usually the laboratory which measures a wide range of dose levels will desire several light sources of different intensities. Recently ConRad* has answered this need by providing sets of two light sources, A and B, differing by about a factor of 100 in intensity.

Office of Radiation Protection BACKGROUND RADIATION ACCUMULATION AND LOWER LIMIT OF USED BY THE CENTRALIZED EXTERNAL DOSIMETRY SYSTEM DETECTION IN THERMOLUMINESCENT BETA-GAMMA DOSIMETERS
A value for "average background radiation" of 0.75 mR/week has been determined from a total of 1680 thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD's) exposed in 70 houses for periods up to one year. The distribution of results indicates a rather large variation among houses, with a few locations exhibiting backgrounds double the general average. Some discrepancies in the short-term background accumulation o...

Strontium Tetraborate doped with Lead SrB4O7:Pb powder was prepared by solid state method. The formation of Strontium Tetraborate compound was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Thermoluminescence Glow Curve of gamma irradiated sample was investigated in order to use as a thermoluminescent dosimeter. Because of excellent mechanical properties, non-hygros...

INTRODUCTION The thermoluminescent (TL) properties of various materials have been studied since a long time but many of these developments never reach the thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) users. α-Al2O3:C TL detectors were first developed and produced at Urals Polytechnical Institute ( UPI ) (1) in the form of a single crystal. These TLD ( model 2600 – 80 ) are now supplied by Victoreen to man...
