“…It should be noted that most of 4 the recent published works are focused on the TL and/or OSL study of glass materials commonly found in daily life (window glass, bottle glass, watch glass, glass display from mobile phones) in search of new dosimetric materials for accidental or retrospective dosimetry (e.g. Engin et al, 2010;Moffatt et al, 2012;Teixeira et al, 2008;Discher et al, 2013). However, the present work, for the first time to the authors' best knowledge, aims to explore the adequacy of glass containers for drugs as probes for the post-sterilization dosimetry on commercial liquid drugs.…”

“…Hence, there is a need for further study on this matter. In more limited study of the TL response of car window glass rather than windshield glass, [25] gave beta doses of 1-10 Gy, showing similarly well-behaved dependency with dose, although in the absence of sampling procedure, brand of car, etc.…”

The Potential Use of Car Windscreens for Post-Accident Dose Reconstruction in the Periphery of Nuclear Installations

Cars of a variety of brands are usually parked at a fixed but increasing distance in the periphery of nuclear installations. Herein we focus on the potential use of car windscreens for post-accident dose reconstruction from unplanned nuclear events and natural disasters, also in regard to unexpected events arising during large-scale use of radioactive and nuclear materials. The situation requires identification of analytical techniques that could both readily and reliably be used to assess absorbed dose, sufficient to prompt remedial action where necessary. Samples from three widely used car brands—Honda, Toyota and Proton—are studied in respect of their thermoluminescence (TL) yield. Key TL dosimetric features in the gamma-ray dose range of 1–100 Gy are examined. An ERESCO model 200 MF4-RW X-ray machine has also been used for energy response studies; a Harshaw 3500 TLD reader equipped with WinREMS software was used for the luminescence measurements. All brands exhibit linearity of TL yield versus dose, the samples from Honda showing the greatest response followed by that of the Toyota and Proton brands. The marked energy dependence reflects the effect of the strongly Z-dependent photoelectric effect. Signal fading was investigated over a period of 28 days, the Toyota and Proton brand windshield glass showing a relatively low loss at 52.1% and 52.6% respectively compared to a 56.7% loss for that of the Honda samples. This work forms the first such demonstration of the potential of car windshield glass as a retrospective accident dosimeter.

“…The extent of the released light is generally proportional to the radiation dose absorbed by the glass material. In the last few decades, commercial specific type of glasses has been examined either for their intrinsic thermoluminescence [4,5] or their dosimetric characteristics [6][7][8][9]. They showed very promising performances in dosimetry audits because of their handling advantages and low cost [10].…”

In this study, the thermoluminescence dosimetric performances of a locally produced soda-lime-silica glass by the Saudi Arabian Glass Company Limited (SAGCO) were examined to evaluate its potential use in low-dose γ-ray field. The samples were homogenously irradiated to different doses using a cesium-137 source. Some important characteristics of these glass dosimeters were investigated: The thermoluminescent glow curve exhibited a main peak at about 200 °C, the dose response curve showed a good linearity in the low-dose range 0-500 mGy, and the lowest detection dose was found to be 0.30 mGy. No substantial change (less than 6%) in the response of the dosimeters was found within incident angles of irradiation between ± 60°. A post-irradiation heating at 160 °C for 15 min before readout was found to be the most appropriate procedure for the elimination of the initial rapid fading.
