ESR Dosimetry: Dosimeter, Accident Dose and Foodstuffs

Abstract

ESR can be used as a radiation dosimeter in nuclear facilities using alanine, sugar and other tissue equivalent organic materials. Anew material with a high G-value and a sharp linewidth is strongly hoped for. Accident dosimetry of direct exposure to human beings can be made by measuring human tooth enamel and shell buttons. Some food irradiation doses can also be checked with ESR.-395 -New Applications of Electron Spin Resonance Downloaded from www.worldscientific.com by KAINAN UNIVERSITY on 02/19/15.
