The electrical conductivity of specimens of polythene film was measured in vacuo with and without gamma irradiation. The specimens were 0.005 in. thick, and silver electrodes were evaporated onto each side of the specimen to provide as intimate contact as possible with the dielectric material. The measurements were made at about 25 deg C with a dose rate of 0.014 r/min from a small Co/sup 60/ source, using an applied potential of 90 v. Data are tabulated and results are compared with previous measurements by others. (C.H.)
