Report
Radiation dosimetry of tooth enamels with electron spin resonance (ESR)
- 1. Osaka Univ., Toyonaka (Japan). Faculty of Science
Description
Electron spin resonance (ESR) dosimetry method using tooth enamel was developed as to detect the minimum radiation dose of around 10 mGy. The main broad signal component must be subtracted from the ESR spectrum to get the signal induced by radiation. Dosimetry of residents close to Chernobyl reactor accident was made using eight tooth pieces with ESR. The obtained dose ranges from about 20 mSv to about 70 mSv including the effect of natural radiation and the dental X-rays. The ESR dosimetry system was developed to measure, the cumulative radiation dose in a tooth without extraction. (author)
