The two most commonly used types of dosimeters are direct reading dosimeters (DRD) and thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) .... The DRD allows you to periodically check the amount of radiation you are receiving at any given moment. A quartz fibre within the dosimeter measures the radiation by moving along a scale and provides an indication of your exposure. 5, record 1, English, - direct%20reading%20dosimeter

Les deux types de dosimètres les plus utilisés sont le dosimètre à lecture directe (DLD) et le dosimètre thermoluminescent (DTL). [...] Le DLD permet de vérifier régulièrement la quantité de rayonnement reçue à n'importe quel moment donné. Une fibre de quartz placée à l'intérieur du dosimètre mesure les rayonnements en se déplaçant sur une échelle graduée et fournit une lecture de votre dose. 3, record 1, French, - dosim%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20lecture%20directe
