doi:10.2478/nuka-2024-0023

Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate whether it is possible to detect low-dose irradiation in dried fruits using the thermoluminescence (TL) method. Selected dried fruits: strawberries, cherries, black currants, two types of raisins, mulberries, apricots, figs, dates and plums were irradiated with doses of 0.1 kGy, 0.3 kGy and 0.5 kGy.
