Dosimeter Types PANASONIC

The document describes characteristics of various Panasonic thermoluminescent dosimeter models. It provides information on the phosphor material and filtration used in each of the four elements of different dosimeter types. Some models like the UD-802A are commonly used while others have specialized applications or are customized designs. The dosimeters measure different radiation types like photons, neutrons, betas depending on their element composition and filtration.

Remarks
The most commonly used Panasonic dosimeter in the US. Use of natural LiBO makes neutron dosimetry
possible if the appropriate energy correction factor for neutrons is known.

Remarks
Intended for environmental measurements. Contains no first element. Remaining three elements are
replicate CaSO4. Can measure low doses (about 10 mR/month). Addition of an element 1 of Li2B4O7 with
14 mg/cm2 makes environmental beta measurement possible. When E1 is added, the dosimeter is
designated as a UD-814.

dosimeter is similar to the design of the UD-811 dosimeter except for encapsulation. Most users prefer to
use the same type dosimeter for calibration as is used for routine monitoring of personnel and/or the
environment.
