Abstract: The article presents the results of the study on the cumulative dose assessment using thermoluminescence properties of porcelain isolators as proof of a severe radiation accident which occurred in 1978 in Sakha (Yakutia), Russia. Based on the four porcelain samples at the area, the Kraton-3 radioactive trace in 2001 to 2002 ranged from around 1.2 to 10 Gy. The measured thermoluminescence doses for the two of the four samples reasonably agree with the estimated values of external gamma dose presented by earlier investigators of the area.
