Hardware for new methods of radiation control

Abstract

Designs of the prototypes of two dosimetry systems that are widely used in the modern international practice of the dosimetry of ionizing radiation, in one of which the ability for real-time measurements of radiation field parameters exists, are presented. The nature of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and radioluminescence (RL), on which the operation of the systems is based, is described. The results of tests of prototypes of OSL and RL dosimetry systems are given. Key specifications and advantages over traditional thermoluminescent systems are identified for the Korund-101-OSL OSL system prototype.
