Abstract:
We propose a personal dosemeter based on the combination of thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) detectors employing the advantages of both techniques. The new OSL/TL dosemeter using a badge manufactured in a 3D printer was tested for assessment of photon doses in simulated and actual situations of exposure. Additionally, Brazilian national performance tests adapted to the new dosemeter were run as well as the performance tests of international standards on the passive dosimetry systems. The results showed the advantages of combined OSL and TL techniques when using the three different configurations of detector combination, Al2O3/BeO, BeO/CaSO4 and Al2O3/LiF. The dosemeter allowed corrections for radiation energy without the necessity of attenuation filters, the evaluation of single and accumulated doses and the triple check of the dose values. Further, the performance tests were consistent with national and international requirements, showing the viability of application of the new dosemeter to the assessment of equivalent doses.
