PROPERTIES OF THE BEOSL DOSIMETRY SYSTEM IN THE FRAMEWORK OF A LARGE-SCALE PERSONAL MONITORING SERVICE

Area of Science:

• Radiation protection and dosimetry
• Materials science

Background:

• The Helmholtz Zentrum München's Individual Monitoring Service monitors approximately 15,000 individuals monthly.
• Current dosimetry systems require efficient and scalable solutions for large-scale operations.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the BeOSL dosimetry system for large-scale individual monitoring.
• To assess the dosimetric and operational characteristics of a novel dosimetry concept.

Main Methods:

• Implementation and utilization of the BeOSL dosimetry system.
• Characterization of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosemeters made of beryllium oxide.
• Assessment of operational procedures for a large-scale dosimetry service.

Main Results:

• The BeOSL system demonstrates a modular structure, offering a new approach to handling dosemeters.
• The system is based on beryllium oxide OSL dosemeters.
• Key dosimetric and operational properties of the system were analyzed and discussed.

Conclusions:

• The BeOSL dosimetry system presents a novel and modular concept for large-scale individual monitoring.
• The system's performance is suitable for the demands of the Helmholtz Zentrum München's monitoring service.
