“…There have been several investigations of the mean life-time of the 210 °C TL peak (Petrov and Bailiff, 1997, Veronese et al, 2004aand Veronese et al, 2004b. A recent study (Woda et al, 2011b) with quartz extracted from bricks of the Urals region (Techa River) has shown that at the higher ambient temperatures encountered in this central mid-Eurasian region (Mokrov, 2004, has suggested that the surface temperature of bricks in southfacing walls of the Metlino mill may have reached 50-60 °C during the summer months), the mean lifetime of the 210 °C TL peak can be considerably shortened, to less than 100 years, depending on the location of the bricks in the structure and the levels of direct insolation incident on their exposed surfaces. Hence, while this TL peak has been found to be generally very sensitive, it is susceptible to thermal fading of trapped charge at elevated ambient temperatures.…”

“…With the exception of one brick, there were no significant differences between the cumulative dose determined using OSL and TL measurement procedures applied to samples extracted from these locations. However, as argued by Woda et al (2011b), the warming of bricks by exposure to solar radiation may lead to an underestimate of the cumulative dose when applying procedures that are based on the measurement of the 210 °C TL peak of quartz. OSL techniques have tended to be preferred when dating of bricks from ancient structures and within NW Europe they have been found to produce reliable and accurate results for buildings of the last 1000 years in a temperate climatic region.…”

HIGHLIGHTSReview of the use of luminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance in retrospective and emergency dosimetry.Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), thermoluminescence (TL) and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) results on biological and physical materials.Descriptions of use in emergency and retrospective dosimetry, following large-scale radiological events.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1350448716302359 ABSTRACTThis paper reviews recent research on the application of the physical dosimetry techniques of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and luminescence (optically stimulated luminescence, OSL, and thermoluminescence, TL) to determine radiation dose following catastrophic, large-scale radiological events. Such data are used in dose reconstruction to obtain estimates of dose due to the exposure to external sources of radiation, primarily gamma radiation, by individual members of the public and by populations. The EPR and luminescence techniques have been applied to a wide range of radiological studies, including nuclear bomb detonation (e.g., Hiroshima and Nagasaki) nuclear power plant accidents (e.g., Chernobyl), radioactive pollution (e.g., Mayak plutonium facility), and in the future could include terrorist events involving the dispersal of radioactive materials. In this review we examine the application of these techniques in 'emergency' and 'retrospective' modes of operation that are conducted on two distinct timescales. For emergency dosimetry immediate action to evaluate dose to individuals following radiation exposure is required to assess deterministic biological effects and to enable rapid medical triage. Retrospective dosimetry, on the other hand, contributes to the reconstruction of doses to populations and individuals following external exposure, and contributes to the long-term study of stochastic processes and the consequential epidemiological effects. Although internal exposure, via ingestion of radionuclides for example, can be a potentially significant contributor to dose, this review is confined to those dose components arising from exposure to external radiation, which in most studies is gamma radiation.The nascent emergency dosimetry measurement techniques aim to perform direct dose evaluations for individuals who, as members of the public, are most unlikely to be carrying a dosimeter issued for radiation monitoring purposes in the event of a radiation incident. Hence attention has focused on b...
