Özet

Dosimeters are used to measure and control the dose of radioactivity exposure by personnel working with radioactivity. There are two types: film-badge (FBD) and thermoluminescent (TLD) dosimeters. These dosimeters are periodically measured and evaluated by the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority (TAEK)-Dosimetry Service. These evaluations take place monthly for FBDs and bi-monthly for TLDs. We present in this study the results of our investigation of the radioactivity dose exposure of personnel who work with radioactivity at the radiopharmacy laboratory using both types of dosimeters. The conformity of the level, of radioactivity dose to international standards is also discussed.
