TLN?




While reading the recent Antarctic Meteorite Newsletter, I saw this
page

 http://www-curator.jsc.nasa.gov/curator/antmet/amn/amnfeb98/table4.htm>

entitled: "Natural Thermoluminescence (NTL) Data for Antarctic
Meteorites".

It states:
   
   We suggest meteorites with NTL >100 krad are candidates for unusual
   orbital/thermal histories (Benoit and Sears, 1993, EPSL 120, 463-471).

Can someone explain what NTL is and how it is measured, and how this 
conclusion was reached?
