Optically Stimulated Luminesence (OSL)
Abstract
The need for dosimetry is a very significant consequence of working with or around ionizing radiation. The expensive infrastructure and investments by the Navy in its dosimetry program is evidence of the importance of a robust dosimetry system to the health and safety of the Navy's military and civilian personnel. As new and improved technologies appear, it is important to evaluate them for their potential to improve performance while reducing total operating costs. OSL is a relatively new technology where the benefits appear to be significant but have yet to be fully evaluated. This project's objective is to make modest investments with the labor of a Navy Health Physicist to explore, in colloboration with a U.S. Army colleague interested in the same technology for Army use, the potential of the military application for OSL dosimetry.
