Description

Previous investigations of the suitability of common household salts as thermoluminescence (TL) or optically stimulated luminescence retrospective dosimeters following a nuclear accident or terror attack have led to inconclusive results. Many investigations have reported linear dose response (e.g., Spooner et al. from 0.14 to 35 Gy and Polimeris et al from 1 to 100 Gy. None have reported linear/supralinear behavior. In an investigation of common Israeli table salts our group have reported linear/supralinear behavior of two salt batches for the TL signal integrated from 70oC to 280oC at a heating rate of 1oC s-1
