“…Extended tests are scheduled to assess the accuracy of this protocol for various time delays between irradiation and storage at low temperature. The dose detection limit for fingernails was previously estimated between 2 and 5 Gy (Romanyukha et al, 2007;Wu et al, 1998;Symons et al, 1995;Dalgarno and Mcclymont, 1989). Clearly it is desirable to carry out additional experiments to more firmly establish the dose-response relationship and limits of detectability.…”

There is an increased need for after-the-fact dosimetry because of the high risk of radiation exposures due to terrorism or accidents. In case of such an event, a method is needed to make measurements of dose in a large number of individuals rapidly and with sufficient accuracy to facilitate effective medical triage. Dosimetry based on EPR measurements of fingernails potentially could be an effective tool for this purpose. This paper presents the first operational protocols for EPR fingernail dosimetry, including guidelines for collection and storage of samples, parameters for EPR measurements, and the method of dose assessment. In a blinded test of this protocol application was carried out on nails freshly sampled and irradiated to 4 and 20 Gy; this protocol gave dose estimates with an error of less than 30%.

“…Based on prior studies there are several factors that need to be taken into account in establishing a protocol for EPR dosimetry with fingernails (Romanyukha et al, 2007;Wu et al, 1998;Symons et al, 1995;Dalgarno and Mcclymont, 1989):…”

“…In recent decades, EPR dosimetry on mineral glass was used several times for the estimation of dose to persons who had been accidentally overexposed. Mineral glass from watches was used by Wu et al (1998). More recently, the potential to use the mineral glass from LCD screens found in electronic devices such as mobile phones was explored by Trompier et al (2011).…”

Physically-based dosimetry techniques present high capacity, new possibilities for accident dosimetry, especially in the case of large-scale events. Some of the techniques applied can be considered as operational (e.g. OSL on Surface Mounting Devices [SMD]) and provide a large increase of measurement capacity for existing networks. Other techniques and devices currently undergoing validation or development in Europe could lead to considerable increases in the capacity of the RENEB accident dosimetry network.

“…These requirements are definitely fulfilled by wristwatch glasses. Dosimetric potential of watch glass has been highlighted by various experiments reported in literature [4][5][6][7]. Electron spin resonance and luminescence (both optical and thermal) are among the main techniques used.…”
