Emergent dose estimation of non-occupational persons accidentally exposed to 192Ir gamma rays

  • 1. National Inst. of Radiological Sciences, Chiba (Japan)

Description

Six persons were accidentally exposed to gamma-rays from an 192Ir source. Since they were non-occupational persons, a means to estimate the absorbed dose was needed to be established. As three of them wore wrist watches when they were exposed to gamma-rays from the 192Ir source, cumulative doses of three persons were able to be estimated by measuring a thermoluminescence from jewels(ruby) of their watches.
