Abstract:
The Harshaw Model 6600 Plus is a reader with a capacity for 200 TLD cards or 800 extremity cards. The new unit integrates more functionality, and significantly automates the QC and calibration process compared to the Model 6600. The Model 6600 Plus was tested against the IEC 61066 (1991-2012) procedures using Harshaw TLD-700H and TLD-600H, LiF:Mg,Cu,P based TLD Cards. An overview of the type testing procedures is presented. These include batch homogeneity, detection threshold, reproducibility, linearity, self-irradiation, residue, light effects on dosemeter, light leakage to reader, voltage and frequency, dropping and reader stability. The new TLD reader was found to meet all the IEC criteria by large margins and appears well suited for whole body, extremity and environmental dosimetry applications, with a high degree of dosimetric performance.
