A technical study of TLD beta calibration factor for exposures to depleted uranium
- Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (United States)
- Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant, TN (United States)
The beta calibration factor for converting light output (on reading a thermoluminescent dosimeter) to shallow dose equivalent has been reexamined through theoretical calculations and experimental measurements. The results support the previously determined value for contact with a depleted uranium slab but indicate that for many actual workplace situations, the contact value may be overly conservative.
