Nambi, N.K. Mehta, A.S. Basu, S. Gopalakrishnan] Thermoluminescence dosemeters have been employed for nearly three decades on a large scale for environmental radiation monitoring around all the nuclear facilities in India. The environmental TLD consists of a pair of brass capsules containing CaF2 TL phosphor powder. The performance quality of these environmental TLDs has been validated in four different ways: (i) participation in an international intercomparison of environmental dosemeters, (ii) intercomparison with other monitoring systems based on entirely different principles, (iii) comparison with estimations from soil radioactivity plus cosmic rays, and (iv) evaluation of 41Ar doses around reactor stacks and comparing with TLD estimates in excess of natural background radiation. In all the cases, the agreement has been quite satisfactory.
