ASTM E2450 - 11 standard practice for application of CaF2(Mn) Thermoluminescence Dosimeters in mixed neutron-photon environments
1. Scope 1.1 This practice describes a procedure for measuring gamma-ray absorbed dose in CaF2(Mn) thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLDs) exposed to mixed neutron-photon environments during irradiation of materials and devices. The practice has broad application, but is primarily intended for use in the radiation-hardness testing of electronics. The practice is applicable to the measurement ...

Maximum protection from new personal radiation detector and alarm
New from Southern Scientific is DoseRAE 2, a compact, direct-reading, electronic personal radiation detector with alarm that accurately accumulates real-time dose data that allows immediate reaction in case of radiation occurrences and thus can reduce radiation exposure. DoseRAE 2, which is an ideal personal dosimeter for anyone likely to be exposed to radiation hazard, uses a compensated PIN ...

Australian scientists develop device to measure cell-level radiation
Australian scientists have developed a miniature radiation detector, the size of a human cell nucleus. The detector is designed to accurately measure the amount of energy deposited by ionising radiation within a human cell nucleus allowing better understanding of radiation effects on humans, ANSTO’s on-line magazine Velocity reported this week. The technology was developed in a collaboration ...

ASTM F1190 - 11 standard guide for neutron irradiation of unbiased electronic components
Semiconductor devices can be permanently damaged by reactor spectrum neutrons (1, 2) . The effect of such damage on the performance of an electronic component can be determined by measuring the component’s electrical characteristics before and after exposure to fast neutrons in the neutron fluence range of interest. The resulting data can be ...

ASTM E2304 - 03(2011) standard practice for use of a LiF photo-fluorescent film dosimetry system
A lithium fluoride (LiF)-based photo-fluorescent film dosimetry system provides a means of determining absorbed dose to materials by the photo-stimulated emission of wavelengths longer than that of the stimulation wavelength. The absorbed dose is obtained from the amount of the light emission. Imperfections ...

Dangers of Nuclear Radiation
The explosion of an atomic bomb or a nuclear reactor releases high-energy radiation. This comes from nuclides, i.e. atoms, which emit energy in the form of high-energy radiation when they decay. Nuclides and high-energy radiation are also used in medicine for diagnosis and therapy. Moreover, it is often forgotten that the human body is permanently exposed to natural sources such as radon and ...
