Abstract

Using electron spin resonance (ESR), tooth enamel is a possible dosimeter in case of a radiation accident. To check the present status of this technique, we conducted a local intercomparison study. We irradiated several samples of tooth enamel with a ⁶⁰Co source. Three institutes in Belgium and The Netherlands recorded the ESR signal of the samples. The results of the measurements and the methods used are compared. It is concluded that ESR on tooth enamel can he a useful technique in accident dosimetry, provided further research is done.
