The ergonomic thermoluminescent dosimeter adapter provides ergonomic design that reduces the risk of repetitive motion injury. The ergonomic thermoluminescent dosimeter adapter includes a form fitting hand trigger and a handle portion mounted on a base. The handle portion has a slot adapted to receive the TLD tool. The TLD tool inserts into the adapter and fastening devices secure the TLD tool to the adapter. In operation, the adapter base is positioned on a flat surface such as a table and adjusted to a comfortable working height until the hand trigger is in a comfortable gripping position. The adapter is held with one hand and the hand trigger is squeezed with the other hand until the targeted TLD holder opens.

A non-invasive temperature verification system used in a TLD system, which comprises at least one thermal sensor, which is placed near each of TLD element, measuring its temperature during heating cycle. The signal data from each thermal sensor is converted to time temperature profile which is used to verify and calibrate the TLD system.

A radiation dosimeter comprising a thermal micro-platform with a plurality of nanowires having phononic structures providing improved thermal isolation of the micro-platform. In embodiments, thermo-luminescent, MOS transistor and PIN diode sensors for x-ray, gamma, charged particles and neutron irradiation are disposed on the micro-platform. In a preferred embodiment the dosimeter is fabricated using a silicon SOI starting wafer.

The application relates to determining the amount of a predetermined type of radiation irradiated on a sensor material by: a) providing a sensor material; b) exposing the sensor material to the predetermined type of radiation for retaining the predetermined type of radiation in the sensor material for a predetermined period of time; c) subjecting the sensor material, which has been exposed to the predetermined type of radiation, to heat treatment and/or to optical stimulation; and d) determining the amount of visible light emitted by the sensor material as a result of being subjected to the heat treatment and/or to the optical stimulation; wherein the sensor material is represented by the following formula (I).
