Eye lens dosimetry in Canadian CANDU nuclear power plants based on operational dosimetric quantities H p (10) and H p (0.07)

In this article, we present a methodology for performing eye lens dosimetry in CANDU nuclear power plants using an existing and highly accurate Harshaw 4-element TLD-700 dosemeter. This dosemeter, which has been specially designed for Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and Bruce Power (BP), measures the deep and shallow personal dose equivalent quantities H_p(10) and H_p(0.07), respectively. Using these measured personal dose equivalent quantities …
