Response of TLD badge to mixed fields of photons of energies above 6 MeV and beta radiation encountered in nuclear power plants

A.S. Pradhan, A.K. Bakshi

Abstract

In India, official and centralized personnel monitoring service using film badge was started in 1952 by Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay (1). With the indigenous development of a TLD badge system (2) based on CaSO4:Dy Teflon disc dosimeter (3) exhibiting evident superiorities over film badge, replacement of film based individual dosimeter by TLD was initiated in 1975. At present about 30,000 radiation workers are
