Abstract

We have applied the thermoluminescence dosimetry technique to measure the total external dose from all the nuclear explosions in a few locations near the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site in Kazakhstan. The technique was optimized at our laboratory by fundamental study of the method of thermoluminescence dosimetry. The measured values of each sample at 10 mm depth were 248 ± 102 mGy (KSD-1), 30 ± 76 mGy (2(1-3)), 222 ± 63 mGy (2(3-2)), 217 ± 55 mGy (2(4-1)). The results are part of an international intercomparison exercise using bricks collected from the areas surrounding the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site.
