Improvements of laser-heated thermoluminescence that are designed to make dosimetry of mixed gamma-fast neutron fields feasible will be implemented and tested. these advancements in laser heating technology are expected to increase the fast neutron thermoluminescence sensitivity sufficiently to make… More

The recent arrival of commercialkly available and considerably improved optical fibers for ingrared co2 laser beams has made possile construction of addddvanced remote thermoluminescence dosimetry rtld sensors for applications in nuclear reactor engineering and maintenance, and in medical in vivo… More

International sensor technology, inc. (ist) proposes to develop a thermoluminescence dosimetry (tld) system for measurement of absorbed dose distributions of ionizing radiation (gammas, betas, neutrons) in phantoms. the systemwill employ ist-developed technology for laser heating and fabrication of… More

The feasibility of extending fiber-optic remote in vivo and in situ thermoluminescence (tl) dosimetry to applications in fast neutron radiotherapy will be investigated. to this end, special probes suitable for near-infrared laser beam heating will be developed and tested. they feature small amounts… More

A feasibility study of using developed technology centered on laser heating of very thin thermoluminescence dosimetry (tld) arrays for the purpose of surveying decommisioned and/or deactivated facilities for residual low activity, short range radioactive contamination is proposed. detection of short… More
