“…Lyoluminescence, the emission of light when irradiated materials are dissolved, has been investigated by Ettinger and coworkers at the University of Aberdeen. The most sensitive lyoluminescent materials are organic compounds: saccharides (Takavar et al 1977), amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids (Ettinger et al 1977a and1977b). Puite (1977) has used the saccharide mannose to measure as little as 5 rads of mixed radiation.…”

“…luminol) to the solvent. The mechanism by which luminol reacts during oxidation in alkali to cause chemiluminescence, and the type of electronic excitation level involved, are still not understood (Seitz, 1978;Baugh et al, 1977;Ettinger et al, 1977). The reaction process leading to the emission of light, is shown in Fig.…”

Thermoluminescence and chemiluminescence intensities of twenty-nine different spices were measured to determine whether the techniques could be used to detect if spices had been irradiated (10 kGy) and stored after irradiation. In each case it was possible to identify radiation treatment with 10 kGy by at least one of the two methods, if irradiation occurred 2-3 weeks prior to the examination. The luminescence effect from radiation treatment differs from spice to spice. Intensity increases in samples treated with 10 kGy vary between 1 (no effect) and about 1000 times compared with untreated samples. Thermoluminescence proved to be more useful than chemiluminescence, as with most spices radiation treatment could be identified after longer periods of time. A combined or simultaneous use of both techniques assures a rapid identification of radiation treatment in most of the examined spices. With the exception of gzrlic, onions, white and black pepper, the irradiated spices can be identified more than 6 months after irradiation. Some, curcuma, juniper berries, basil, chillis, paprika and celery, show increased luminescence intensities for a year or longer after irradiation.

Suitability of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy for criticality dosimetry was evaluated for tooth enamel, mannose and alanine pellets during the`international intercomparison of criticality dosimetry techniques' at the SILENE reactor held in Valduc in June 2002, France. These three materials were irradiated in neutron and gamma-ray ®elds of various relative intensities and spectral distributions in order to evaluate their neutron sensitivity. The neutron response was found to be around 10% for tooth enamel, 45% for mannose and between 40 and 90% for alanine pellets according their type. According to the IAEA recommendations on the early estimate of criticality accident absorbed dose, analyzed results show the EPR potentiality and complementarity with regular criticality techniques.
