The model by McKeever to simulate 'hard-to-bleach' thermoluminescence
(TL) peaks is studied. The sensitivity of the model to its parameters
is examined. and a wide variety of behaviour is found. The sensitivity
of the TL signal and the size of the residual TL level for different
sets of parameters are studied. It is observed that the TL sensitivity
changes after bleaching and the residual level reached after long ble
aching times depends upon the initial radiation dose.
