Evaluation of commercially available TLD readers

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5893402
The performance of two commercially available thermoluminescence bulb dosimetry systems, the Victoreen 2810 Ultra Sensitive TLD Reader and the Harshaw Model 2000P Bulb Dosimetry System, was investigated. Of primary interest was the reliability of the instruments at an exposure range typically encountered in environmental radiation when monitoring on a monthly basis, i.e., approx. 10 mR. Uniformity, linearity, and reproducibility test results are reported. The two systems were found to perform comparably well as bulb readers. Evaluation of the dual capability of the Victoreen 2810 as a chip reader is also described.
