Abstract
The aim of the paper is to present a special application of the Romanian thermoluminescent dosemeters system, based on the use of the LiF:Mg,Cu,P, commercial GR-200A detectors, for the measurement of the ultra-low-level ambient dose equivalent rate values, situated within the interval of 1-100 nSv h(-1). The paper briefly describes the system and presents in detail the experimental procedure, including the corrections to be applied to the experimental values. The final characterisation of a Romanian salt mine, proposed to be used as an underground accelerator laboratory, is given. The comparison with the previous measurement results in the Slanic Prahova former salt mine and with the results obtained using the gamma-ray spectrometry method validates the results reported in this paper. The conclusion is that the system provides reliable results in the measurement of the ultra-low-level radiation background.
