Abstract: | Phototransferred thermoluminescence (PTTL) in natural quartz, separated from sand, has been studied for its application in high-level gamma dosimetry. The paper reports dose-vs.-PTTL response of 110°C and 180°C peaks in the dose range of 10 Gy to 6 kGy. Using this method, the dose rate delivered to the sewage sludge during irradiation at SHRI facility, Vadodara, India, was estimated to be 0.35±0.02 kGy/h. |
