In this work, the response of the Permanent Monitoring Station (PMS) was compared with the readings of environmental thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) based on high sensitive MCP-N (LiF:Mg, Cu, P) thermoluminecent detectors and Gamma Tracer, an active device. Thermoluminescent dosimeters were installed close to an automatic warning system of PMS and to a portable Gamma Tracer monitor which is used for long term, continuous measurements in the environment at the INP. For several weeks 137Cs, 60Co, 226Ra and 241Am gamma-ray sources have been placed at distances of a few meters from the dosimeters, in order to modify the radiation environment.
