Dosimetric monitoring by thermoluminescent dosemeters of employers working in ionizing radiation fields

Radiation Protection Commission was established in the Ministry of Health and Environment as Regulatory Authority, organizes and supervises all activities related with radiation protection, as the license, inspection, dosemetric personal control, medical examination, radioactive waste management, etc. Actually in our country are exerting some activities, which intend to covert the principal tasks in the field of radiation protection. Such activities are dosemetric personnel control based on TLD, radioactive environmental monitoring, radioactive waste management, calibration of dosemetric equipment's, etc. This paper describes the realization of personnel monitoring by thermoluminescent dosemeters TLD - 100 chips and cards were furnished by IAEA some years ago. Various experiments to determine the dependence of the response of dosemeters versus dose and versus orientation, the fading and lower detectable dose. The personnel monitoring of workers that work in ionizing radiation field were in charge of Institute of Nuclear Physics (INP). Actually in Albania was established the personnel monitoring service for employers of INP, Oncological Centre, Nuclear Medicine Centre and some other nuclear units in Tirana city. On the near future year exists the possibility to extend personnel monitoring for all physicians and technicians of rontgendiagnostic units of Durres, Shkodra, Elbasan cities. (author). 4 refs, 2 tabs
