Abstract

The multi-user equipment RPL Dose Ace Glass Dosimetry System will complement the research of radiation dosimetry, adding great stability on the variation of dose, due to resistant to atmospheric weather. The RPL dosimeter will be used in dosimetry geological sites to be studied in this project. The results of annual dose rate determined by RPL dosimeters will be compared with those obtained by gamma spectrometry and TL. (AU)
