Abstract
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.
