Definitions
- the first type of device consists of a meter that detects and quantifies the level or intensity of radioactivity. These devices make instantaneous measurements and do not typically provide information regarding accumulation of exposure.
- the second group of devices measures the accumulated amount of radiation a person has been exposed to over a given period of time, and are referred to by those skilled in the pertinent art as dosimeters.
- a dosimeter is worn in proximity to the chest or waist, and is clipped onto clothing or suspended from a chain. Dosimeters can also be attached to the extremities or other locations on the body to provide more accurate data appropriate to a specific exposure situation.
- difficulties sometimes arise as a result of a person forgetting to attach the dosimeter, or as a result of inappropriate placement of the dosimeter when localized exposure occurs. This can result in undetected overexposure, that in turn could injure the unsuspecting individual. This problem is most frequently encountered when a person's face and eyes are exposed to a discrete beam of radiation, and the dosimeter is positioned below the person's neck.
- the end wall acts as a closure for the chip space, thereby defining a chamber that encapsulates and protects the thermoluminescent dosimetry chip.
- Means are also provided for releasably coupling the housing to an upper brow portion of the eye protective device, such that the thermoluminescent dosimetry chip can measure the amount of radiation to which the face and eyes of the wearer are exposed.
- the housing and the plug be made from a suitable material such as high density polypropylene. It is also preferable that the thermoluminescent dosimetry chip be a lithium fluoride chip.
- FIG. 3 is an exploded view of an eye protective device having a brow area that defines an opening, a housing receivable in the opening, and a chip holder and thermoluminescent dosimetry chip receivable in the housing; and
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an eye protective device having a integral housing for receiving a thermoluminescent dosimetry chip carried by a chip holder.
