What Does TLD Stand For?
TLD stands for Thermoluminescent Dosimeter
TLD, or Thermoluminescent Dosimeter, is a device used to measure ionizing radiation exposure. It operates by storing energy from radiation in specific materials, which is then released as light when heated. This emitted light is quantitatively analyzed to determine the amount of radiation absorbed, making TLDs valuable tools in fields such as radiology, nuclear industry, and environmental monitoring. Their sensitive and accurate measurement capabilities make them essential for ensuring radiation safety and compliance.
