A SENSITIVE CHEMICAL DOSIMETER FOR IONIZING RADIATION
Methylene blue was found to oxidize when warmed to room temperature after irradiation in a plastic matrix at --10 deg C. This suggests that the oxidizing radicals formed in the matrix diffuse to leuco dye molecules. This gives a system more convenient and sensitive than liquid dosimeters. (T.R.H.)
