Measurements of the equivalent dose in space and in aircraft

Description

The high temperature ratio method (HTR) of thermoluminescent dosimetry was used to measure the absorbed dose and the average linear energy transfer of mixed radiation fields in space. A LiF:Mg,Ti thermoluminescent dosemeter was used. The measurements were performed during several periods on the 'MIR' space station, during 3 space shuttle missions and during 5 flights in aircraft. Comparison with the conventional methods gave evidence that the HTR method is applicable to the determination of the biologically relevant dose. (M.D.)
