Harshaw TLD-700H (7LiF:Mg,Cu,P) was previously characterised for low- to high-dose ranges from 1 microGy to 20 Gy. This paper describes the studies and results of dose-response and linearity at much higher doses. TLD-700H is a near perfect dosimetric material with near tissue equivalence, flat energy response, and the ability to measure beta, gamma and X rays. These new results extend the applicability of Harshaw TLD-700H into more dosimetric measurement environments. The simple glow curve structure provides insignificant fade, eliminating special oven preparation methods experienced by other materials. The work presented in this paper quantifies the performance of Harshaw TLD-700H in extended ranges.

Background: Calibration of Thermo Luminescent Dosimetry (TLD) in eye lens dosimeter requires a standard phantom. The use of anthropomorphic phantoms in calibration needs evaluation.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the angular response of the TLD on the fabricated 3D anthropomorphic head phantom and Computerized Imaging Reference Systems (CIRS)- Computed Tomography (CT) dose phantom as a standard phantom irradiated with Cs-137 and to compare the absorbed dose and linear attenuation for both phantoms.

The Health Protection Agency is changing from using detectors made from 7LiF:Mg,Ti in its photon/electron personal dosemeters, to 7LiF:Mg,Cu,P. Specifically, the Harshaw TLD-700H card is to be adopted. As a consequence of this change, the dosemeter holder is also being modified not only to accommodate the shape of the new card, but also to optimize the photon and electron response characteristics of the device.

A new type of extremity dosemeter, which incorporates the Harshaw TLD EXTRAD dosemeter element into a PVC finger stall, has been developed. The dosemeter uses high-sensitivity lithium fluoride, (7)LiF:Mg,Cu,P (TLD-700H) in a thin 7 mg cm(-2) layer, with alternative coverings of PVC at 10 mg cm(-2) and aluminised polyester at 3.2 mg cm(-2).

The Harshaw Model 6600 Plus is a reader with a capacity for 200 TLD cards or 800 extremity cards. The new unit integrates more functionality, and significantly automates the QC and calibration process compared to the Model 6600. The Model 6600 Plus was tested against the IEC 61066 (1991-2012) procedures using Harshaw TLD-700H and TLD-600H, LiF:Mg,Cu,P based TLD Cards.
