Experimental evaluation of a method for performing personnel beta dosimetry using multi-element thermoluminescent
Health Physics
|July 1, 1985
Abstract:
Two multi-element thermoluminescent (TL) dosimeter designs were calibrated in a gamma field and then exposed to beta sources emitting different beta spectra. The TL readouts from the dosimeters were analyzed using an algorithm designed to enable calculation of the beta doses from the dosimeter readings without performing any beta calibrations. The results suggest that the method is promising for application in personnel beta dosimetry.
