1. Landauer s thermoluminescent TLD ring dosimeter measures radiation exposure due to x beta and gamma radiation with a lithium fluoride chip E The TLD chip is safely encapsulated inside the identification cover No separation of the TLD from the cover is possible so the identity of the chip and the wearer is always maintained The cover and TLD are independent of the ring base Identification on the cover is laser engraved preventing the print from smearing peeling or washing off Rings can be worn in dry or wet working conditions and cold sterilized without compromising the integrity of the dosimeter Information engraved on the ring cover is as shown in the Ring Dosimetry section Rings are available in sizes small medium large and extra large Unless otherwise instructed the medium size is sent The color of the ring base changes red blue or black each wear period to help identify wear dates During analysis in our laboratory the TLD chip is heated causing it to become luminescent in proportion to the amount of radiation exposure The luminescence is measured and a report of exposure results is generated The glow curve of the readout that permits a more conclusive evaluation of radiation exposure can be retrieved and analyzed before the exposure report is generated if any anomaly appears The sum of the high energy beta gamma and x radiation is reported as a shallow dose If the ring dosimeter is exposed to radiation other2. for the gestation period 5 Radiation type and in some cases energy of radiation contributing to whole body dose equivalent Code Radiation Quality Description Type and or Energy B Beta BH Beta high energy e g strontium phosphorus BL Beta low energy e g thallion krypton BN Beta neutron mixture NF Neutron fast NT Neutron thermal P Photon x or gamma ray PB Photon beta mixture PBN Photon beta neutron mixture PH Photon high energy greater than 200 keV PL Photon low energy less than 40 keV PM Photon medium energy 40keV to 200 keV PN Photon neutron mixture 6 The dose equivalent columns report the current and accumulated exposures for deep lens of eye and shallow dose equivalents O DDE Deep dose equivalent applies to external whole body exposure at a tissue depth of 1 cm 1 000 mg cm 23 Landauer Service Guide C LDE Eye dose equivalent applies to the external exposure of the lens of eye at a tissue depth of 0 3 cm 300 mg cm O SDE Shallow dose equivalent applies to the external exposure of the skin or an extremity at a tissue dept of 0 007 cm 7 mg cm averaged over an area of one square centimeter Deep lens of eye and shallow dose equivalents report for the time frame indicated by For Monitoring Period Individual radiation component results and combined totals report in separate lines Quarterly accumulated results total dose received within the calendar
