Electronic Dosemeter for Environmental Monitoring

In addition to gamma spectrometry in situ and direct dose rate measurements, TLD passive dosemeters are used to monitor the ionizing radiation fluctuation of the environment in spite of their great uncertainties. We have used the active electronic dosemeter (AED) which measures the dose rate to, for the same purpose and on the same measuring sites where the TLD-s were put on in order to compare the accummulated dose obtained by both measuring devices. Measurements were performed for more than three years and on several environmental sites of concern. The results obtained encouraged us to use the AED as a monitoring mobile measuring station.
