Type testing of LiF:Mg,Cu,P (TLD-100H) whole-body dosemeters for the assessment of H_p(10) and H_p(0.07)

In this work, the initial results of the type testing of the LiF:Mg,Cu,P (TLD-100H) whole-body personal dosemeters are presented. An assessment of reproducibility, linearity of the response, the residual signal as a function of the dose, energy and angular dependence of the response was performed. In general, the dosemeters show good reproducibility for different dose values and a linear behaviour for a range between 0.1 and 300 mSv. The detection limits obtained are lower than 50 μSv. The system presents a good energy and angular response for different radiation qualities. (authors)
