General aspects of applying the method of retrospective dose estimation by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy of human tooth enamel (EPR dosimetry) to the population residing in the vicinity of the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site are analyzed and summarized. The analysis is based on the results obtained during 20 years of investigations conducted in the Medical Radiological Research Center regarding the development and practical application of this method for wide-scale dosimetrical investigation of populations exposed to radiation after the Chernobyl accident and other radiation accidents.

Controlling the absorbed dose received by a target is a major challenge encountered during ionizing radiation applications. For experimentally measuring absorbed dose, dosimetric systems are used. On the other hand, in addition to experimental methods of dose measurement, there are other alternatives for calculating absorbed doses, these are numerical methods based on the Monte Carlo method which are very sophisticated and widely used throughout the world.

This paper presents the results of the first intercomparison exercise on Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) dosimetry using sorbitol, where the performance parameters of sorbitol as dosimetric material were evaluated by three independent participants. Each participant was asked to determine a calibration curve using a set of sorbitol powder samples irradiated to four different doses (1.00, 2.

Article Synopsis
- The study discusses using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) for quick and non-invasive radiation dose detection after nuclear emergencies.
- Traditional methods for analyzing EPR spectra involve manual work, which can be time-consuming and subjective, presenting challenges in accuracy.
- The authors developed automated methods using support vector machine (SVM) and genetic algorithm-based neural networks (GA-BPNN) to enhance the efficiency and reliability of EPR spectrum classification and radiation dose prediction, paving the way for improved assessment in emergency situations.

In this paper, we demonstrated the biological effects of acute low-dose neutrons on the whole body of rats and investigated the impact of that level of neutron dose to induce an in vivo radio-adaptive response. To understand the radio-adaptive response, the examined animals were exposed to acute neutron radiation doses of 5 and 10 mSv, followed by a 50 mSv challenge dose after 14 days. After irradiation, all groups receiving single and double doses were kept in cages for one day before sampling.

Precise estimation of individual radiation dose utilizing biomaterials (fingernail, bone, and tooth) is very challenging due to their complex sample processing. Despite, tooth enamel, the most mineralized tissue of tooth is used for this purpose due to its high radiation sensitivity and ability to produce radiation induced long lived CO radicals. However, human teeth are not always available, and invasive nature of sample collection adds to the complexity making dose estimation difficult.
