dc.description.abstractThermoluminescence dosimetry (TLD) system has been used to estimate the personal dose for external occupationally exposed workers in CERT. The reliability and precision of dose measurements and the accuracy of dose evaluation are important factors for the improvement and achievement of individual monitoring objectives. In this piece of work, evaluation of characteristics of TLD system was investigated at the Centre for Energy Research and Training, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria. Dose sensitivity, dose linearity, residual signal, fading, batch homogeneity, stability of Calibration factor, re-usability over 10 cycles, sensitivity to ambient light, and the influence of environmental conditions were evaluated. Not all investigated properties were found to be within the limits defined by IEC standard. These results are discussed in order to demonstrate the degree of accuracy achieved and the need for its improvement where necessary.en_US
