Summary
Dosimeters are used to measure and control the dose of radioactivity
exposure by personnel working with radioactivity. There
are two types: film-badge (FBD) and thermoluminescent (TLD)
dosimeters.
These dosimeters are periodically measured and evaluated
by the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority (TAEK)-Dosimetry
Service.
These evaluations take place monthly for FBDs and bimonthly
for TLDs.
We present in this study the results of our investigation
of the radioactivity dose exposure of personnel who work
with radioactivity at the radiopharmacy laboratory using
both types of dosimeters. The conformity of the level of
radioactivity dose to
international standards is also discussed.
Key Words :
Personnel dosimeter, thermoluminescent dosimeter, film-badge
dosimeter. |
