THE PHOSPHATE GLASS DOSIMETER
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4279642
The phosphate glass dosimeter, based upon the phenomenon of radiophotoluminescence, has been developed as a personal monitor of high-range gamma -ray dose. The dosimeter is small, cheap, rugged, and proof against severe climatic conditions. It is not self-indicating but may be read rapidly by a mains-operated reader designed as a simple fluorimeter. The dosimeter was developed to meet requirements of the armed services for a dosimeter to measure cumulative exposure to the initial and residual gamma radiations from a nuclear weapon. The design is suitable for large scale production. The dosimeter will register dose in two ranges, 0-600r and 0-6000r. The minimum detectable increment of dose is 5r. Dose is stored linearly (up to 1000r), permanently, and independently of radiation dose-rate, energy, and orientation. (auto)
