Abstract
Ten different types of shell were tested as electron spin resonance dosimeters. In particular, properties such as fading, background spectra, and relative sensitivity were studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate the external dose exposed to the public in the vicinity of the radiation accident. Some shells were found to contain a considerable amount of Mn +2 ions which interfered with the spectral features of interest. The sensitivity of ESR was dependent on the type of the shell and fading of the ESR signal from the irradiated shell which was rarely observed at room temperature. Some shells which were of high sensitivity could be considered as useful materials in developing an emergency dosimeter for the public.
