The shape of TL glow curve is a useful indicator for assurance of correct reading of the personal dosimeter. Since the reading procedure of TLD is irreversible, however, an analytic remedy should be considered to procure reliable dosimetric information for the readings with irregular glow con shape. In this study, kinetic trapping parameters of CaSO$_4$ : Dy Teflon personal dosimeter(Teledyne PB-6A) were analyzed by Halperin and Braner's model for general-order kinetics. From these kinetic tapping parameters, we also developed a simple procedure to retrieve the dosimetric information from abnormally distorted glow curves. The computerized glow curve deconvolution(CGCD) fitting of the reference glow curve with kinetic parameters from this study yields relative errors of about 5% from the expected integral. It was also found that the glow curve remedial procedure developed could retrieve the distorted TL glow curves within ewer ranges of 1575. With the glow curve retrieval techniques, doses incurred by gamma radiation can now be successfully re-constructed for the CaSO$_4$ : Dy Teflon dosimeter resulting abnormal glow curves.

This study was carried out to observe changes in several detection factors derived from thermoluminescence (TL) of minerals separated from irradiated Korean perilla and sesame seeds during storage under normal room and darkroom conditions. The TL intensities of the first glow curves increased from 0 to 5 kGy but only slightly increase from 5 to 10 kGy. Maximum TL temperatures of the first glow curves in all irradiated samples were around 20$0^{\circ}C$, ranging from 150 to 25$0^{\circ}C$. Since the control (0 day of storage) glow curve ratios of G3 and G4, calculated from re-irradiated (1 kGy) sample were over 0.5, detection of irradiation was possible. However, because Gl ratios were below 0.1, they were classified as non-irradiated. There was n unique first glow curve shape that could be clearly seen in all irradiated samples, regardless of storage conditions, that was never seen in non-irradiated samples. In all samples, the maximum TL temperatures and shape of the second glow curve was in a lower temperature range than that of the first glow curve. Therefore, detection of irradiated Korean perilla and sesame seeds was possible fur up to 3 months after irradiation, regardless of storage conditions, by examining several TL detection factors; including TL intensity, glow curve ratios maximum TL temperatures, and the shapes of glow curves.

LiF:Mg, Cu, Na, Si TL 물질의 열자극발광을 온도대 파장대 발광강도의 3차원으로 측정하여 분석하였다. 온도대 발광강도곡선(glow curve)은 각 온도에서 파장별 발광강도데이터를 적분하여 구성하였고, 이를 분석하여 트랩에 관계되는 여러가지 파라미터들을 결정하였다. 발광곡선의 분석은 일반차 모델의 TL 강도 표현식을 기본함수로 하여 컴퓨터화된 발광곡선 분해(Computerized Glow Curve Deconvolution: CGCD)기법을 이용하였고, 그 결과 LiF:Mg, Cu, Na, Si TL 물질의 열자극발광곡선은 정점온도 333 K, 374 K 426 K, 466 K, 483 K 그리고 516 K를 갖는 6개의 개별적인 발광곡선들로 구성되어 있음을 확인하였다. 주 피크(main peak)인 456 K 발광곡선에 대하여 활성화에너지는 2.06 eV, 발광차수는 1.05로 밝혀졌다. 발광스펙트럼 분석결과 LiF:Mg, Cu, Na, Si TL 물질은 3개의 재결합준위 1.80 eV, 2.88 eV 그리고 3.27 eV를 가지는 것으로 판명되었다. 이 중 약 2.88 eV 준위가 지배적이고 다음으로 3.27eV 준위에서 발광이 일어나며 1.80 eV 준위는 극히 미약하나 분명한 존재를 확인하였다.

To establish a detection method of irradiated perilla and sesame seeds, studies were performed with pulsed photostimulated luminescence (PPSL) and thermoluminescence (TL). The PPSL photon counts of the mineral separated from irradiated sesame and perilla seeds were higher than unirradiated one and exhibited an increase with increasing irradiation dose and mineral content. Also TL intensities of minerals separated from irradiated sesame and perilla seeds increased with increasing irradiation dose. In all samples, detection was possible with shapes and maximum TL temperatures of the second glow curves showing lower regions than those of the first glow curves and correctly classified as irradiated samples. Glow curve ratios of irradiated samples were higher than 0.5. These results suggest that PPSL and TL are applicable methods for the detection of irradiated perilla and sesame seeds.

A study was carried out to establish a detection method of irradiated shellfish through thermoluminescence (TL). The TL intensity of first glow curves for irradiated bloody, freshwater, and short-neck shellfish increased from control until 5 kGy and increased slightly room 5 kGy until 10 kGy. Maximum TL temperatures of all irradiated samples tested were below 23$0^{\circ}C$, within temperature interval of 150~25$0^{\circ}C$ recommended for evaluation. Since just in control, glow curve ratios of G3 and G4 calculated from re-irradiated (1 kGy) bloody, freshwater and shortneck were over 0.5, detection in control was possible. However, as glow curve ratios after three months were below 0.5, detection by glow curve ratios after three months was impossible. Gl, which calculated from unirradiated samples, exhibited below 0.1, they were classified as unirradiated. In all samples, all the irradiated shellfish could be classified correctly as irradiated by hemaximum TL temperatures and shape of the second glow curve because those were shown in a lower temperature region than those of the first glow curve.

This study was carried out to determine whether detection of minerals separated from irradiated mussel could be could be done by thermoluminescence (TL) method. After the minerals were separated by sodium polytungstate solution (2.0 g/mL) from irradiated mussel, organic compounds remaining in the minerals were removed by acid-base treatment and dried at 50℃ overnight, and then the minerals were measured through TL. The TL intensities of separated minerals at different irradiation doses during storage conditions of room and darkroom were obtained. TL intensity of first glow curves for minerals separated from irradiated mussel showed linear increase from the control to 5 kGy and slight increase from 5 kGy to 10 kGy. Since glow curve ratios of G2, G3 and G4, calculated from re-irradiated minerals measured immediately after irradiation and after storage of three months were over 0.5, detection of irradiation was possible. G1, which showed the glow curve ratios above 0.1, was classified as non-irradiated samples because the unique first glow curve was not found within the recommended temperature interval (150-230℃). Hence, on the basis of TL intensity, and glow curve ratio and shape, it is possible to correctly identify irradaited mussels after mineral separation during storage.

국내에서 생산된 농산물의 방사선 조사유무를 확인하기 위하여 TL을 측정하였다. 모든 시료의 first glow curve는 조사선량이 증가할수록 TL intensity도 증가하는 경향을 보여 주었다. 당근, 생강, 감자, 고구마의 상관계수는 0.8522, 0.9968, 0.9612, 0.9071의 높은 값을 나타내었으며, first glow curve의 최대발광온도점은 $176.16{\sim}190.08^{\circ}C$사이에 있었고, second glow curve는 $143.84{\sim}146.56^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 나타났다. Glow curve ratio 1은 감자와 고구마를 제외하고 모두 0.1보다 작은 수치를 보여 비조사시료로 확인되었으며, 감자(0.1840)와 고구마(0.1655)는 0.1보다 큰 수치를 보였으나 독특한 first glow curve가 나타나지 않은 점으로 보아 비조사시료로 확인되었다. 그리고 모든 시료의 glow curve ratio 2는 0.7159보다 높은 수치를 나타내어 조사시료로 확인되었다. Glow curve의 모양을 분석한 결과 second glow curve의 모양이 first glow curve의 유사하였고, 더 낮은 온도에서 나타났다. 따라서 glow curve ratio와 glow curve의 모양에 의해 정확하게 조사유무를 확인할 수 있었고 TL을 이용하여 방사선 조사된 농산물의 검지가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Gamma-irradiation (0-7 kGy) of ginseng is permitted in Korea for the purpose of microbial decontamination; with strict labeling, traceability and monitoring requirements. An identification study was conducted to determine the photostimulated-luminescence (PSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) properties of gamma-irradiated fresh and white ginsengs cultivated in different areas. Dose- dependent PSL-based screening was possible for white ginseng samples; however, inappropriate results from non-irradiated fresh ginseng samples were obtained, showing intermediate (700 to 5,000) or positive ($T_2$ >5,000, irradiated) PSL counts due to the abundance of minerals on the surfaces of the samples. TL analysis of separated minerals from all non-irradiated samples gave TL glow curves of low intensity with a maximum peak after $300^{\circ}C$. However, well-defined irradiation-specific (high intensity with a maximum peak at about $200^{\circ}C$) glow curves were observed for all the irradiated samples, regardless of their type and origins. TL ratios (first glow curve /second glow curve) were also determined to confirm the irradiated (>0.1) and non-irradiated (<0.1) results. SEM-EDX (scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) spectroscopic analyses showed that feldspar and quartz minerals were the main source for the typical radiation-specific luminescence properties.
