New data on direct ion storage dosemeters.
The DIS-1 dosemeter from the Finnish company RADOS is an innovative kind of passive electronic dosemeter for photon and beta radiation. This study examines the 'long-term' linear response behaviour, the calibration and readout accuracy with large samples of 'used' DIS-1 dosemeters especially in the low-dose region, which is of special interest for radiation protection issues. Our measurements prove the adequacy of the DIS-1 dosemeter for long-term-personal dosimetry. The fast and precise readout seems to make the DIS-1 dosemeter an ideal choice for personal dosimetry in low-dose environments.
