title: Individual monitoring based on magnesium borate.
abstract: Valuable features of magnesium borate sintered solid thermoluminescence dosemeters (TLDs), such as near tissue- equivalence, high sensitivity, and good performances for X, gamma, beta and neutron dosimetry, were developed and produced by the Institute of Nuclear Sciences, Vinca. These features form the basis for using this type of TLDs successfully for legal personal dosimetry control in Serbia for the past 27 y. The dosimetric properties of this TL material are presented in this study.
