Body thermoluminescent dosemeter (TLD)

This is a reusable dosemeter which uses lithium fluoride to measure radiation dose. It stores dose information until heated to over 250°C when it gives out light the amount of which is proportional to the dose received. It is environmentally robust and excellent for use in all working environments.

Extremity dosemeters

This is a miniature TLD which can be supplied in different forms to suit your needs (stalls or rings). The finger stall is worn like the finger of a glove and the ring is adjustable to fit all finger sizes.

PADC neutron dosemeter

Here, poly-allyl diglycol carbonate (PADC) is used which is damaged if exposed to neutrons. After processing, damage pits become visible and their number is proportional to the dose received. It is unaffected by X and gamma radiations and measures doses over a wide range of neutron energies.

Radon dosemeter

PADC is enclosed in a domed holder which allows radon gas to enter but excludes dirt, moisture and radon decay products. The number of tracks is proportional to the radon gas exposure. Supplementary information must be provided by the employer.

Dose Record-keeping Service

The HPA also offers a dose record keeping service.
