Abstract
Dose evaluation procedures based on luminescence techniques were applied to 50 quartz samples extracted from bricks that had been obtained from popula ted or partly populated settlements in Russia and Ukraine downwind of the C hernobyl NPP. Determinations of accrued dose in the range similar to 30-300 mGy were obtained using TL (210 degreesC TL and pre-dose) and OSL (single and multiple aliquot) procedures. Overall, good inter-laboratory concordanc e of dose evaluations was achieved, with a variance (1 sigma) of similar to +/-10 mGy for the samples examined. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
