DIETARY SALT AS A POTENTIAL DOSIMETER IN RETROSPECTIVE DOSIMETRY

As a result of the risk that radiological and nuclear disasters accidents will expose membersof public to unsafe amounts radiation, numerous emergency dosimetry approaches for triage have beenthoroughly explored. The current methods retrospective encompass variety biological, physical, andchemical procedures related radiation exposure human body. Additional items might be useful asfortuitous dosimeters using luminescence techniques include banknotes, electronic components, table salt, quartzrecovered from bricks, other burnt ceramic materials. In this study, we investigated usability dietary saltsupplement in dose range triage. We studied samples' limit detection (LOD),dose response, reproducibility, fading, which are all important elements optically stimulated luminescence(OSL) signal sample’s luminescent properties. Measurements were conducted by Riso TL/OSL reader DA-20. Thestudy used potassium chloride tablets electrolyte powder different manufacturers packaged instandard lightproof containers. findings study demonstrate these supplements after irradiation providemeasurable satisfactorily reproducible OSL signal. increases linearly with triage-relateddose has low LOD values.
