Abstract

The prototype two element eye-lens dosimeter badge based on indigenously developed α-Al 2 O 3 :C optically stimulated luminescence dosimeter was investigated comprehensively for its suitability for eye-lens monitoring applications. The badge is calibrated to measure the eye-lens dose in terms of H p (3). The minimum measurable dose using the eye-lens dosimeter badge is observed to be ~ 35 μSv. This prototype eye-lens dosimeter badge was found to be suitable for measuring doses from X-rays, beta and gamma radiations to the eye-lens. The satisfactory performance of the prototype two element eye-lens dosimeter badge along with its attractive features such as multiple readout, less processing time, very good beta response uniquely position it for monitoring the eye-lens dose are presented.
