  Abstract:   This study investigated the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dose response of electronic components and chip-cards found whitin cell phones. The analysis of components extracted from these ubiquitous devices was proposed for aplications regarding rapid accident dose reconstruction. The majority of the investigated components displayed bright OSL signals upon irradiation, a functionality between given dose and signal being observed. The dose response of the surface-mount resistors with alumina porcelain card chips was linear up to 6 Gy, thus making these electronic components suitable candidates as dosimeters in the case of a nuclear accident or attack.

Key words: Retrospective dosimetry, Accident dosimetry, Fortuitous dosimeters, Optically stimulated luminescence
