Ito, Masashi; Shiraishi, Akemi; Murakami, Hiroyuki

In Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, a new type radiophotoluminescent(RPL) glass dosimeter is recently adopted replaced film badge for external personal monitoring. Some fundamental characteristics of this dosimeter, such as dose dependence linearity, energy dependence, dose evaluation accuracy against mixed irradiation condition,fading, etc.,were examined at the Facility of Radiation Standard(FRS),JAERI. The results have proved that the RPL glass dosimeter has sufficient characteristics in practical use as a personal dosimeter for all of the items examined.
