Abstract The effect of various temperature treatments on TL response characteristics of CaSO4: Dy has been investigated for its reusability when the phosphor has been previously irradiated to increasingly higher gamma doses. In practice, annealing at a standard temperature, namely 400 °C, usually precedes the use or reuse of the phosphor. However, the study demonstrates that the phosphor with a previous history of high accumulated doses does not completely retain its original TL response characteristics with 400 °C treatment unless the phosphor is treated at an elevated temperature, namely 650 °C.
