Feasibility study of tele dosimetry in personnel monitoring at Madras Atomic Power Station

In nuclear installations personnel dose monitoring is essential to control individuals dose within stipulated limit. Checking of a worker's dosimeter by a supervisor or health physicist during the course of work is dose consuming and often disturb the work done by the individual. A new approach to solve this problem by designing an electronic gadget and use it for tele dosimetry was made. A study has been done to see performance of this device and its feasibility. Further experiments are on to enhance its performance. Advantages and application are discussed. (author)
