With the aim of offering a new application for Cs sources that were previously used in brachytherapy, we developed an irradiator for TL and OSL dosimeters by adapting a shielded storage container; this irradiator was named SOPHIA. It was assembled from a cubic iron casing, filled with lead, with external dimensions of 25 × 25 × 25 cm³. It has three different drawers with two sample holders suitable for samples or dosimeters with dimensions of up to 2 cm. Dose distribution of the surface of sample holder was obtained with EBT-3 radiochromic film and detectors thermoluminescent CaSO4: Dy. Regarding the security conditions of irradiation, the whole routine procedure for placement and removal of samples was simulated TI - Adaptation and security validation of an irradiator suitable for use of cesium-137 sources JF - EPJ Web of Conferences DO - 10.1051/epjconf/20146610016 DA - 2014-01-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/adaptation-and-security-validation-of-an-irradiator-suitable-for-use-x0LYjfQ1Gi DP - DeepDyve ER -
