Compositions including additive manufacturing materials incorporating radiological detection materials therein are provided. Also provided are apparatus and methods, which may be utilized to monitor and measure nuclear criticality events, and determine if personnel have been exposed to ionizing radiation. The compositions, apparatus, and methods beneficially improve accuracy in assessing radiation exposure, particularly neutron exposure, and reduce degradation of the radiological detection materials.

Radiological criticality dosimeter using nanoparticle technology in additive manufacturing

A non-invasive temperature verification system used in a TLD system, which comprises at least one thermal sensor, which is placed near each of TLD element, measuring its temperature during heating cycle. The signal data from each thermal sensor is converted to time temperature profile which is used to verify and calibrate the TLD system.
