Abstract
Abstract The response of thermoluminescence, radiophotoluminescence, thin-film exoelectron, pocket (pocket ion chamber) and film dosemeters were examined in gamma fields of different qualities, including mixed fields. The dosemeters were exposed to realistic radiation fields in nuclear plants. Nuclide spectra and radiation field quantities were determined by various measurements, e.g. by spectrometry, by dose rate measurements and by calculations. Thermoluminescence and exoelectron dosemeters provided by far the best results, particularly in the lower dose range. Throughout, the accordance of thermoluminescence and exoelectron dosemeter readings with respect to whole body exposure was better than ±20% between about 0.1 and 2 mSv. Larger discrepancies were observed in the presence of low energy ß radiation when using 7 to 15 mg.cm-2 detector window thicknesses.
