Reeder, S D; Dunbar, J A; Alley, N P

This report contains reference material concerning the concept of dose with respect to aqueous systems, a brief introduction to the theory of chemical dosimeters as outlined by the proposed reactions for the ferrous system, and a discussion of the limiting features of the ceric and ferrous sulfate systems used. The chemical dosimetry procedures are outlined and information obtained in their use is discussed. A new concept of "electrometric chemical dosimetry" is reported which eliminates the need for analysis of dosimeter solutions after irradiation. By means of a bimetallic electrode system the time required for complete consumption of the dosimeter solution is measured as a factor in determining the gamma flux. (auth)
