Since the beginning of its use, radiation has already presented harm, justifying the necessity of controlled use. In order to monitor its effects and even avoid them, dosimetry has arisen. For the purpose of ensured all the necessary safety and monitor areas where there is radiation use, a lot of devices able to identify and quantify many types of radiation were developed. However, some these d...

Radiation processing in many areas, particularly in radiation sterilization, demands control of the absorbed dose. Many dosimeters have been proposed for the high-level dose range (region of 10 to 50 kGy). However, in addition to the required reproducibility, reliability or uncertainty (< 5%), it is desirable for radiation processing that the selected dosimetric system is easy to operate. One o...

Radiation plays a very important role in the life of humans. Measurements radiation technologies and processes are important. Usually measurements made with dosimeters various types: solid state dosimeters, liquid gaseous dosimeters. Dose based on different principles: temperature increase, collection electric charge, development gases, accumulation free radicals, trapping electron matrix, colo...

There is a need for stable gel materials for phantoms used to validate optical computerized tomography (CT) scanners used in conjunction with radiation-induced polymerizing gel dosimeters. Phantoms based on addition of light-absorbing dyes to gelatine to simulate gel dosimeters have been employed. However, to more accurately simulate polymerizing gels one requires phantoms that employ light-sca...

The radiological properties of nanocomposite Fricke gel (NC-FG) dosimeters prepared with different concentrations of nano-clay, perchloric acid and ferrous ions in deaerated conditions were investigated under carbon and argon ion beam irradiation covering a linear-energy-transfer (LET) range of 10 to 3000 eV/nm. We found that NC-FG exhibits radiological properties distinct from those of convent...

The fading of radiation-sensitive p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (known as RADFETs or pMOS dosimeters) over a long time period 10 years after irradiation has been investigated. Fading is, in addition to sensitivity, another characteristic radiation dosimeters. It is considered the recovery threshold voltage irradiated dosimeters during ambient annealing without gat...

Six national standards for absorbed dose to water in Co gamma radiation at the dose levels used in radiation processing have been compared over the range from 5 to 30 kGy using the alanine dosimeters of the NIST and the NPL as the transfer dosimeters. The standards are in agreement at the level of around 0.5%, which is significantly smaller than the stated standard uncertainties. r 2006 Elsevie...

This review paper presents an overview of individual monitoring, as well as the national dose register and dose record management of radiation workers in China. Progress has recently been made on the individual monitoring of radiation workers. A critical analysis of current status and problems in individual monitoring is also presented and necessary future research on individual monitoring, suc...
