Re: Use of OSL Dosimeters for Environmental Monitoring
Radsafers,
I would like to cotton on to this query and enquire about the use of
alternative devices (to TLDs) for environmental radiation monitoring and
experience gained by the users (and possibly the motivation). Example :
electret devices. IMHO any device which needs processing at a distant
location is at a disadvantage, as any 'in transit' corrections to the
registered dose adds variance and therefore degrades the precision of
results.

Please respond to
radsafe
I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has replaced environmental TLDs
with optically stimulated luminescence-type dosimeters in their
environmental monitoring programs. Have you found that they are (true to
some claims I've heard) superior to TLDs for environmental monitoring? From
a field implementation perspective, what are the advantages/disadvantages
of
switching from TLDs? Please respond to me directly unless you feel it would
benefit others on the listserver.
