Ambient environmental radiation monitoring at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory
Description:
Thermoluminescence dosimetry is the principal means of measuring ambient $gamma$ radiation at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. These dosimeters are used at 12 perimeter locations and 41 locations in the off-site vicinity of the Laboratory, and are exchanged quarterly. Control dosimeters are stored in a 75- mm-thick lead shield located out-of-doors to duplicate temperature cycling of field dosimeters. Effect of dosimeter response to radiation in the shield is determined each quarter. Calibrati…
