When an irradiation accident occurs, it is very important for medical
treatment to be able to reconstruct the cartography of the dose absorb
ed by the irradiated person. A cotton textile coated with an or-alumin
a dosimetric powder is suitable to clothe persons subjected to irradia
tion risks. With some precautions, the dose may be measured by thermol
uminescence (TL). Responses of the aluminised cotton textile relative
to the absorbed dose are shown for different ratios of DJD, and relati
ve to the photon energy.
